Newtons Laws of Motion

Front

What does Newton's first law state about an object's motion?

Back

An object's motion cannot change unless a force acts on it.

Front

What is Newton's second 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.

Front

What happens to the acceleration of an object if the force applied to it increases?

Back

The acceleration increases.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and gravitational force?

Back

The gravitational force increases as mass increases.

Front

What does Newton's third law state about forces?

Back

Every force has an equal and opposite reaction force.

Front

If the mass of an object increases while the force remains constant, what happens to the acceleration?

Back

The acceleration decreases.

Front

Define inertia in the context of Newton's first law.

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for calculating force according to Newton's second law?

Back

Force = Mass x Acceleration (F = m * a)
