Newtons Laws of Motion

Front

What is Newton's 1st Law of Motion?

Back

An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by an outside force.

Front

What is Newton's 2nd Law of Motion?

Back

The acceleration of an object depends on the mass of the object and the amount of force applied. (F = m * a)

Front

What is Newton's 3rd Law of Motion?

Back

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

Front

What is a force?

Back

A push or pull on an object.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

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 changes its velocity.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force = Mass x Acceleration (F = m * a)

Front

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

Back

It continues to move at a constant velocity.

Front

What is an example of Newton's 1st Law?

Back

A soccer ball remains at rest until kicked.
