Newtons Laws

Front

What is Newton's 1st 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 Newton's 2nd Law of Motion?

Back

The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass (F=ma).

Front

What is Newton's 3rd Law of Motion?

Back

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

Front

What does inertia mean in the context of Newton's 1st Law?

Back

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

Front

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

Back

A larger mass requires a greater force to achieve the same acceleration as a smaller mass.

Front

Can you give an example of Newton's 1st Law?

Back

A soccer ball will not move until a player kicks it.

Front

Can you give an example of Newton's 2nd Law?

Back

If you push a car and a bicycle with the same force, the bicycle will accelerate more because it has less mass.

Front

Can you give an example of Newton's 3rd Law?

Back

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

Front

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

Back

Force (F) = mass (m) × acceleration (a).

Front

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

Back

Force is the product of mass and acceleration; increasing mass requires more force to achieve the same acceleration.
