Identifying Newtons Laws

Front

What is Newton's First Law of Motion?

Back

An object at rest will remain at rest, and an object in motion will remain in motion at a constant velocity unless acted upon by a net external force.

Front

What does inertia refer to in the context of Newton's First Law?

Back

Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.

Front

How does increasing force affect the acceleration of an object according to Newton's Second Law?

Back

According to Newton's Second Law, increasing the force applied to an object results in an increase in its acceleration, as described by the formula F = m x a.

Front

What is the formula that represents Newton's Second Law of Motion?

Back

F = m x a, where F is force, m is mass, and a is acceleration.

Front

What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?

Back

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Front

How does Newton's Third Law apply to rocket launches?

Back

During a rocket launch, the rocket expels gas downwards (action), and in response, the rocket is propelled upwards (reaction).

Front

What is an example of Newton's First Law in everyday life?

Back

A soccer ball remains stationary until kicked by a player, demonstrating that it will not move without an external force.

Front

What is the significance of external forces in Newton's laws?

Back

External forces are necessary to change the motion of an object, as described in Newton's First Law.

Front

Can you give an example of inertia in action?

Back

When a car suddenly stops, passengers lurch forward due to inertia, as their bodies tend to continue moving at the same speed.

Front

What happens to an object in motion if no external forces act on it?

Back

It will continue to move in a straight line at a constant speed.
