Newtons Laws of Motion

Front

What is Newton's First Law of Motion?

Back

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

Front

What is the definition of force?

Back

A push or pull on an object resulting from the object's interaction with another object.

What is the definition of acceleration?

Back

The rate of change of velocity of an object with respect to time.

Front

What is the definition of mass?

Back

The amount of matter in an object, typically measured in kilograms (kg).

Front

What is the relationship between mass and weight?

Back

Weight is the force exerted by gravity on an object, calculated as Weight = Mass x Gravity.
