Newtons 3 Laws of Motion

Front

What is the definition of Net Force?

Back

Net Force is the vector sum of all the forces acting on an object.

Front

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

Back

Newton's 2nd Law of Motion states that Force equals Mass multiplied by Acceleration (F = ma).

Front

What is the standard unit of force?

Back

The standard unit of force is the Newton (N).

Front

What is Newton's 1st Law of Motion also known as?

Back

Newton's 1st Law of Motion is also known as the Law of Inertia.

Front

State Newton's First Law of Motion.

Back

An object in motion will stay in motion and an object at rest will stay at rest unless acted upon by an outside force.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

How does mass affect inertia?

Back

The greater the mass of an object, the greater its inertia, meaning it will be harder to change its state of motion.

Front

What is the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration?

Back

The relationship is described by Newton's 2nd Law: Force equals Mass multiplied by Acceleration (F = ma).

Front

What happens to an object when the net force acting on it is zero?

Back

When the net force is zero, the object remains in its current state of motion, either at rest or moving at a constant velocity.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

The formula for calculating force is F = ma, where F is force, m is mass, and a is acceleration.
