Newton's Laws of Motion

Front

What does Newton's First Law state about an object in motion?

Back

An object in motion will keep moving with a constant velocity unless acted upon by a net external force.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

Which has more inertia: a feather or a hammer?

Back

A hammer has more inertia than a feather.

Front

What is the formula for Newton's Second Law?

Back

F = ma (Force equals mass times acceleration).

Front

What does Newton's Third Law state?

Back

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

Front

How does force affect acceleration according to Newton's Second Law?

Back

The less the force that is applied, the lesser the acceleration.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and inertia?

Back

The greater the mass of an object, the greater its inertia.

Front

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

Back

A soccer ball will not move until kicked (an external force is applied).

Front

What happens to an object at rest according to Newton's First Law?

Back

An object at rest will stay at rest unless acted upon by a net external force.

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.
