Newton's Laws of Motion

Front

What is Newton's First Law known as?

Back

The Law of Inertia

Front

What does 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 Newton's Third Law?

Back

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

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for Newton's Second Law?

Back

F = ma (Force equals mass times acceleration).

Front

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

Back

As mass increases, acceleration decreases if the same force is applied.

Front

What is an example of Newton's First Law?

Back

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

Front

What is an example of Newton's Second Law?

Back

A heavier object requires more force to move it than a lighter object.

Front

What is an example of Newton's Third Law?

Back

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

Front

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

Back

Force is the product of mass and acceleration.
