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 Newton's Second 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)

Front

What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?

Back

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

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

What is force?

Back

A push or pull on an object that can cause it to accelerate.

Front

What is mass?

Back

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

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

The rate of change of velocity of an object, typically measured in meters per second squared (m/s²).

Front

What does the term 'net force' mean?

Back

The total force acting on an object after all the forces are combined.

Front

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

Back

As mass increases, acceleration decreases for a given force.

Front

What is an example of Newton's First Law in everyday life?

Back

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