Newtons Laws of Motion

Front

What is the attractive force that exists between all objects that have mass?

Back

Gravity is the force that attracts two bodies towards each other, proportional to their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

Front

What is Newton's 1st Law of Motion?

Back

Newton's 1st Law states that an object at rest will remain at rest, and an object in motion will remain in motion at a constant velocity unless acted upon by a net external force.

Front

What is Newton's 2nd Law of Motion?

Back

Newton's 2nd Law states that 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 Newton's 3rd Law of Motion?

Back

Newton's 3rd Law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Front

What is a PUSH or PULL of an object?

Back

A force is defined as a push or pull that can cause an object to accelerate.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and weight?

Back

Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object's mass. It is calculated as Weight = mass × gravity.

Front

What is friction?

Back

Friction is the force that opposes the relative motion of two surfaces in contact.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force (F) is calculated using the formula F = mass (m) × acceleration (a).

Front

What is the difference between static and kinetic friction?

Back

Static friction acts on objects that are not moving, while kinetic friction acts on objects that are sliding over each other.
