Newton's First and Second Laws of Motion

Front

What is Newton's First Law of Motion?

Back

An object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion will stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction, unless acted upon by an external force.

Front

According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, what is the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration?

Back

Force is directly proportional to mass and acceleration.

Front

What is the formula to calculate force?

Back

force = mass * acceleration

Front

What is the SI unit of force?

Back

Newton

Front

What is inertia?

Back

Resistance to changes in motion or rest.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and inertia?

Back

They are directly proportional.

Front

How does the mass of an object affect its acceleration when a constant force is applied?

Back

The acceleration decreases as the mass of the object increases.

Front

What is the relationship between force and acceleration?

Back

Force is directly proportional to acceleration.

Front

What is the SI unit of acceleration?

Back

Meter per second squared

Front

What is Newton's First Law of Motion?

Back

Objects in motion stay in motion/Objects at rest stay at rest until an outside force acts on it
