Newton's 1st Law

Front

What is the net force?

Back

The net force is the overall force acting on an object when all the individual forces are combined. In this case, it is 4000 N left.

Front

The law of inertia (Newton’s First Law) applies to:

Back

Both moving and nonmoving objects.

Front

If one object has twice as much mass as another object, it also has twice as much:

Back

Inertia.

Front

Which one is balanced?

Back

The top.

Front

What is Newton's First Law known as? The Law of:

Back

Inertia.

Front

What does inertia mean?

Back

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

Front

What happens to an object at rest according to Newton's First Law?

Back

An object at rest will stay at rest unless acted upon by a net external force.

Front

What happens to an object in motion according to Newton's First Law?

Back

An object in motion will continue in motion at a constant velocity unless acted upon by a net external force.

Front

What is an example of inertia in everyday life?

Back

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

Front

What is the relationship between mass and inertia?

Back

The greater the mass of an object, the greater its inertia.
