Newton's Laws of Motion

Front

What does Newton's Second Law of Motion 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 standard unit of force?

Back

Newtons (N).

Front

What is friction?

Back

A force that opposes motion between two surfaces in contact.

Front

What is an example of Newton's First Law of Motion?

Back

A soccer ball remains motionless until it is kicked by a player.

Front

What is the net force on an object at rest?

Back

0 N.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force = mass × acceleration (F = ma).

Front

What is the relationship between mass and acceleration according to Newton's Second Law?

Back

As mass increases, acceleration decreases if the force remains constant.

Front

What is an example of Newton's Third Law of Motion?

Back

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

Front

What happens to an object in motion according to Newton's First Law?

Back

An object in motion will stay in motion at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force.
