Newtons laws

Front

What does Newton's 1st Law state?

Back

An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted on by an unbalanced force.

Front

What is the formula for Newton's 2nd Law?

Back

Force equals mass times acceleration (F = ma).

Front

What does Newton's 3rd Law state?

Back

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

Front

What is the law of conservation of momentum?

Back

The total momentum of objects that interact does not change.

Front

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

Back

As mass increases, acceleration decreases for a given force.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

What is an unbalanced force?

Back

An unbalanced force is a force that causes an object to accelerate.

Front

Can an object be in motion if no forces are acting on it?

Back

Yes, an object in motion will continue moving at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

Front

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

Back

Force is directly proportional to the product of mass and acceleration.

Front

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

Back

When you jump off a small boat, the boat moves backward as you move forward.
