Newtons laws

Front

What is Newton's 1st Law of Motion?

Back

An object at rest will remain at rest, and an object in motion will continue in motion at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

Front

What is Newton's 2nd Law of Motion?

Back

The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. This is often summarized by the formula F = ma.

Front

What is Newton's 3rd Law of Motion?

Back

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

Front

Define force in the context of Newton's laws.

Back

A push or pull on an object that can cause it to accelerate, change direction, or change shape.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

The tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.

Front

Give an example of Newton's 1st Law in everyday life.

Back

A book resting on a table will remain at rest until someone pushes it.

Front

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

Back

As mass increases, acceleration decreases for a given force.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force (F) = mass (m) x acceleration (a).

Front

Explain the concept of balanced and unbalanced forces.

Back

Balanced forces do not change an object's motion, while unbalanced forces cause an object to accelerate.

Front

Provide an example of Newton's 3rd Law in action.

Back

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