Newtons laws

Front

What does Newton's 2nd Law state?

Back

Force equals mass times acceleration (F = ma).

Front

How is force calculated according to Newton's 2nd Law?

Back

Force equals mass multiplied by acceleration (F = m × a).

Front

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

Back

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

Front

What does Newton's 3rd Law claim about forces between two objects?

Back

If one object exerts a force on another, the second object exerts an equal force in the opposite direction.

Front

What type of resistance is air resistance classified as?

Back

Air resistance is a form of fluid resistance.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

F = m × a, where F is force, m is mass, and a is acceleration.

Front

What is inertia according to Newton's First Law?

Back

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

Front

What does Newton's First Law state about an object at rest?

Back

An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon by a net external force.

Front

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

Back

As mass increases, for a constant force, acceleration decreases.

Front

What is the significance of the equal and opposite forces in Newton's 3rd Law?

Back

It explains how interactions between objects result in balanced forces.
