Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion. An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by an external force.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is Newton's first law of motion?

Back

Newton's first law of motion states that an object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by a net external force.

3.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How does mass affect inertia?

Back

The greater the mass of an object, the greater its inertia. This means heavier objects are harder to start moving or stop than lighter objects.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is an example of inertia in everyday life?

Back

When a car suddenly stops, passengers lurch forward because their bodies want to continue moving at the same speed due to inertia.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What happens to a spinning top when it loses energy?

Back

A spinning top will eventually stop spinning due to friction and air resistance, demonstrating that it is affected by external forces.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the relationship between force and motion?

Back

Force is required to change the motion of an object. Without force, an object's motion will remain constant.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is an example of an object with high inertia?

Back

A large boulder has high inertia because it requires a significant amount of force to move it.
