Newtons Laws 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 unless acted upon by a net external force.

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 (F = m x a).

Front

What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?

Back

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

Front

What is the formula to calculate force?

Back

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

Front

What is the definition of mass?

Back

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

Front

What is the definition of weight?

Back

Weight is the force exerted by gravity on an object, calculated as weight (W) = mass (m) x gravitational acceleration (g).

Front

What is gravity?

Back

Gravity is the attractive force that exists between all objects that have mass.

Front

What is friction?

Back

Friction is the force that opposes the motion of an object when it is in contact with another surface.

Front

What is net force?

Back

Net force is the total force acting on an object, taking into account all the individual forces and their directions.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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