Newton's Laws of Motion

Front

What is Newton's 2nd Law of Motion?

Back

Force = Mass x Acceleration

Front

What does Newton's 3rd Law of Motion state?

Back

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

Front

What is the unit of force?

Back

A Newton (N)

Front

What is the relationship between mass and acceleration in Newton's 2nd Law?

Back

Force is directly proportional to mass and acceleration.

Front

How does friction affect motion?

Back

Friction opposes motion and can make it harder to move an object.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force = Mass x Acceleration (F = ma)

Front

What is an example of Newton's 3rd Law in everyday life?

Back

When you push against a wall, the wall pushes back with equal force.

Front

How does mass affect acceleration according to Newton's 2nd Law?

Back

Greater mass results in less acceleration for the same amount of force applied.

Front

What is the significance of the term 'net force'?

Back

Net force is the total force acting on an object after all the forces are combined.
