newtons laws

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

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

What does the Law of Acceleration (Newton's Second Law) 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 the formula to calculate force according to Newton's Second Law?

Back

Force (F) = mass (m) × acceleration (a).

Front

What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?

Back

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

Front

How does mass affect inertia?

Back

The greater the mass of an object, the greater its inertia, meaning it will resist changes in motion more than an object with less mass.

Front

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

Back

Force is the product of mass and acceleration; increasing mass or acceleration increases the force.

Front

What is an example of Newton's First Law in everyday life?

Back

A skateboarder continues to move forward when they hit a rock because their body wants to maintain its state of motion.

Front

What is the significance of the net force in Newton's Second Law?

Back

The net force is the total force acting on an object, determining its acceleration.

Front

What is an example of Newton's Third Law?

Back

When you jump off a small boat, you push the boat backward as you move forward.
