What does Newton's third law of motion state?

Back

Newton's third law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This means that forces always occur in pairs.

What happens to the speed of an object in free fall?

Back

As an object falls freely under the influence of gravity (ignoring air resistance), its speed increases.

How does increasing mass affect gravitational force?

Back

Increasing the mass of two objects increases the gravitational force between them.

What is inertia according to Newton's first law?

Back

Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion. 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 the significance of the gravitational force?

Back

Gravitational force is the attractive force between two masses. It is responsible for keeping planets in orbit and objects on the ground.

What does it mean for forces to be balanced?

Back

Balanced forces are equal in size and opposite in direction, resulting in no change in motion.
