Front

What is Newton's first law?

Back

An object in motion tends to stay in motion while an object at rest tends to stay at rest unless acted on by some force.

Front

What is Newton's second law?

Back

Force equals mass times acceleration.

Front

What is Newton's third law?

Back

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

What is inertia?

A tendency to remain unchanged (keep moving or keep still).

Front

What is an example of air resistance?

Back

A paper airplane slowing down in the wind.

Front

What does acceleration mean?

Back

A change in speed or direction of something.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and acceleration in Newton's second law?

Back

The greater the mass of an object, the more force is needed to accelerate it.

Front

How does friction affect motion?

Back

Friction opposes motion, causing objects to slow down or stop.

Front

What is an example of Newton's first law in everyday life?

Back

A passenger lurching forward in a car when it suddenly stops.

Front

What is the significance of Newton's third law in sports?

Back

When a player pushes against the ground, the ground pushes back with equal force, allowing them to jump.
