Newton's Laws of Motion 2022

Front

What is Newton's 2nd law of motion?

Back

Force = mass x acceleration

Front

What is the Law of Inertia?

Back

An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by a net external force.

Front

What does Newton's 1st law state?

Back

An object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by a net external force.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force = mass x acceleration

Front

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

Back

Acceleration is directly proportional to the net force acting on an object and inversely proportional to its mass.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

How does Newton's 2nd law apply to real-world situations?

Back

It explains how the acceleration of an object changes when a net force is applied.

Front

What is the significance of the slope in a position-time graph for constant velocity?

Back

The slope represents the velocity of the object; a straight line indicates constant velocity.

Front

What happens to an object in motion when no net force acts on it?

Back

It continues to move at a constant velocity.

Front

What is the effect of mass on acceleration according to Newton's 2nd law?

Back

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