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. This is also known as the Law of 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 expressed by the formula F=MA.

Front

What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?

Back

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

Front

What is a contact force?

Back

A force that requires physical contact between two objects, such as friction.

Front

What is friction?

Back

A force that opposes the motion of an object, acting between surfaces in contact.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

The energy stored in an object due to its position or state, such as an object at a height.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

The energy of an object due to its motion, calculated as KE = 1/2 MV².

Front

What is net force?

Back

The overall force acting on an object when all individual forces are combined.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

F = MA, where F is force, M is mass, and A is acceleration.

Front

What is mass?

Back

The amount of matter in an object, typically measured in kilograms.
