Front

What is Newton's First Law known as?

Back

The Law of Inertia.

Front

What does Newton's Second Law of Motion state?

Back

The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass (F=ma).

What is the formula for calculating acceleration?

Back

Acceleration (a) = Change in velocity (Δv) / Time taken (Δt).

Front

What is the definition of inertia?

Back

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

Front

What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?

Back

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

What is the unit of force in the International System of Units (SI)?

Back

Newton (N).

Front

What is the relationship between mass and acceleration in Newton's Second Law?

Back

As mass increases, acceleration decreases for a given force.

What does it mean for forces to be balanced?

Back

Balanced forces result in no change in motion; the object remains at rest or moves at a constant velocity.
