Newton's Laws of Motion Review

Front

What is Net Force?

Back

The total of all forces acting on an object.

Front

How do you calculate mass using force and acceleration?

Back

Mass = Force / Acceleration.

Front

What is the mass of an object if a force of 18 N causes it to accelerate at a rate of 1.5 m/s²?

Back

12 kg.

Front

What does Newton's 2nd Law of Motion state?

Back

Force = Mass multiplied by Acceleration.

Front

What is Newton's 3rd Law of Motion?

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for calculating net force?

Back

Net Force = Sum of all forces acting on an object.

Front

If the net force acting on an object is 5 N to the right, what does this indicate?

Back

The object will accelerate to the right.

Front

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

Back

Newton (N).

Front

What is inertia?

Back

The tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.

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.
