Newtons Laws

Front

What is Newton's 1st Law of Motion?

Back

An object in motion will stay in motion and an object at rest will stay at rest unless acted upon by an outside force.

Front

What is Newton's 2nd 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 3rd Law of Motion?

Back

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

Front

Define Force in the context of Newton's Laws.

Back

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

Front

What does the term 'mass' refer to in physics?

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

How does mass affect acceleration according to Newton's 2nd Law?

Back

As mass increases, acceleration decreases for a given force.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

Provide an example of Newton's 1st Law in everyday life.

Back

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

Front

Provide an example of Newton's 2nd Law in action.

Back

A soccer ball accelerates more when kicked harder (greater force) and less when kicked gently.
