Newton's Laws of Motion

Front

What is a PUSH or a PULL of an object?

Back

Force

Front

Forces always act in equal and opposite pairs. Which law does this statement represent?

Back

Newton's 3rd Law

Front

Which law of motion states that an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by a net external force?

Back

Newton's 1st Law

Front

What is the term for the resistance that one surface or object encounters when moving over another?

Back

Friction

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force = Mass x Acceleration (F = ma)

Front

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

Back

It explains how the velocity of an object changes when it is subjected to an external force.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

What happens to a ball rolling across a rug?

Back

Friction resists the ball's forward motion, causing it to slow down.

Front

What is the effect of gravity on objects?

Back

Gravity pulls objects toward the center of the Earth.

Front

What is an example of Newton's 3rd Law of Motion?

Back

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