newtons law of motion

What is Newton's 1st Law of Motion?

Back

An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

Front

What is Newton's 2nd Law of Motion?

Back

The acceleration of an object depends on the mass of the object and the amount of force applied. It can be expressed with the formula F = ma (Force = mass x acceleration).

What is friction?

Back

Friction is a force that opposes the motion of an object and occurs when two surfaces come into contact.

Front

What is mass?

Back

Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, typically measured in kilograms.

What is weight?

Back

Weight is the force exerted by gravity on an object, calculated as the mass of the object multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity (W = mg).

What is inertia?

Back

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

What is a contact force?

Back

A contact force is a force that requires physical contact between two objects, such as friction or tension.

Front

What is a non-contact force?

Back

A non-contact force is a force that acts at a distance, such as gravitational force or magnetic force.
