Newton Laws of Motion

Front

What is the principle that states an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by a net external force?

Back

Newton's First Law of Motion

Front

What is the unit of measurement for force?

Back

Newtons (N)

Front

What is the term for the quantity of matter in an object?

Back

Mass

Front

According to Newton's Third Law of Motion, for every action, there is an equal and opposite what?

Back

Reaction

Front

What is defined as a push or pull that causes a change in the motion of an object?

Back

Force

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force = Mass x Acceleration (F = ma)

Front

What does the term 'inertia' refer to in the context of Newton's First Law?

Back

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

Front

What is the relationship between mass and acceleration according to Newton's Second Law?

Back

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

Front

What is the effect of balanced forces on an object?

Back

Balanced forces do not change the object's motion.

Front

What is the effect of unbalanced forces on an object?

Back

Unbalanced forces cause a change in the object's motion.
