Newtons Law of Motion

Front

What is Newton's First 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 inertia?

Back

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

Front

What does Newton's Second Law of Motion state?

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 the formula for calculating force?

Back

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

Front

What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?

Back

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

Front

What is friction?

Back

Friction is a force that opposes the motion of an object.

Front

What are action-reaction force pairs?

Back

Forces that two objects exert on each other that are equal in size and opposite in direction.

Front

What happens to a moving object when no net force acts on it?

Back

It continues to move at a constant velocity.

Front

What is the role of gravity in motion?

Back

Gravity is a force that attracts objects toward each other, affecting their motion.

Front

What is the difference between mass and weight?

Back

Mass is the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force of gravity acting on that mass.
