Newton's Laws of Motion

Front

What is Newton's 1st Law of Motion?

Back

An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by a net external 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. (F=ma)

What is a force?

Back

A push or pull on an object.

What does mass measure?

Back

The amount of matter in an object.

Front

What does acceleration measure?

Back

The rate of change of velocity of an object.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

What is an example of Newton's 1st Law?

Back

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

Front

What is an example of Newton's 2nd Law?

Back

If you push a car and a bicycle with the same force, the bicycle will accelerate more because it has less mass.
