Newton's Laws of Motion

Front

What does a distance vs. time graph represent?

Back

Speed

Front

What is Newton's 1st law of motion?

Back

An object will remain at rest or keep moving with a constant velocity unless a force acts on it.

Front

What is Newton's 2nd law of motion?

Back

Force = Mass multiplied by acceleration.

Front

What is the definition of velocity?

Back

Speed in a certain direction.

Front

What does a constant velocity indicate on a graph?

Back

No acceleration.

Front

What is the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration?

Back

Force is directly proportional to mass and acceleration (F = ma).

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for calculating acceleration?

Back

Acceleration = (Final velocity - Initial velocity) / Time.

Front

What is the significance of the slope in a velocity vs. time graph?

Back

The slope represents acceleration.

Front

What is the principle of action and reaction?

Back

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