Newtons laws

Front

What is Newton's 1st law of motion?

Back

An object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force.

Front

What does the term 'Action/Reaction' refer to in Newton's laws?

Back

In every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects.

Front

What is the essence of Newton's 2nd law of motion?

Back

The acceleration of an object depends on the mass of the object and the amount of force applied.

Front

What does Newton's 3rd law state?

Back

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

Front

What happens to an object in motion according to Newton's 1st law?

Back

It will stay in motion unless acted upon by an external force.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

How does mass affect acceleration according to Newton's 2nd law?

Back

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

Front

What is an example of Newton's 3rd law in everyday life?

Back

When you jump off a small boat, the boat moves backward as you move forward.

Front

What is the formula for Newton's 2nd law?

Back

F = m * a (Force equals mass times acceleration).

Front

What is the relationship between force and motion?

Back

Force is what causes an object to change its motion.
