Newtons 1-3 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 unless acted upon by a net external force.

Front

What is Newton's second law of motion?

Back

The relationship between force, mass, and acceleration, often summarized as F=ma.

Front

What is Newton's third law of motion?

Back

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

Front

What does 'force' mean in physics?

Back

A push or pull that can change the motion of an object.

Front

What is 'mass'?

Back

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

Front

What is 'acceleration'?

Back

The rate at which an object's velocity changes over time.

Front

What is 'friction'?

Back

A force that opposes the motion of an object, often caused by contact with another surface.

Front

What does 'velocity' mean?

Back

The speed of an object in a certain direction.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

What happens to an object in space when no forces act on it?

Back

It will continue to move at the same speed and in the same direction.
