Which Newton Law Is It?

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 with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

Front

What is the Law of Inertia?

Back

It is another name for Newton's 1st Law of Motion, which states that objects will not change their state of motion unless a force acts on them.

Front

What does Newton's 2nd Law of Motion state?

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 an example of Newton's 2nd Law?

Back

If two dogs pull a sled, it will accelerate faster than if only one dog pulls it, demonstrating that more force results in greater acceleration.

Front

What is Newton's 3rd Law of Motion?

Back

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

Front

Give an example of Newton's 3rd Law in action.

Back

When a swimmer pushes back on the water, they move forward due to the reaction force of the water pushing them forward.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.

Front

How does mass affect inertia?

Back

The greater the mass of an object, the greater its inertia, meaning it will be harder to change its motion.

Front

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

Back

According to Newton's 2nd Law, force equals mass times acceleration (F=ma).

Front

What happens to a moving object when no forces act on it?

Back

It will continue to move at a constant velocity in a straight line.
