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 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. The more mass an object has, the greater its inertia.

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. This is often expressed as F=MA.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

F = MA (Force equals mass times acceleration).

Front

What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?

Back

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

Front

What is an unbalanced force?

Back

An unbalanced force is a force that causes an object to change its motion. It is not equal and opposite to other forces acting on the object.

Front

What is gravitational force?

Back

Gravitational force is the attraction between two objects due to their mass. It is what keeps us grounded on Earth.

Front

What is balanced force?

Back

Balanced forces are equal in size and opposite in direction, resulting in no change in motion.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and inertia?

Back

The greater the mass of an object, the greater its inertia, meaning it will be harder to change its motion.

Front

What does acceleration depend on according to Newton's Second Law?

Back

Acceleration depends on the net force acting on an object and the mass of the object.
