Front

What does F=ma represent?

Back

Front

Which of Newton's Laws states that an object at rest will stay at rest unless acted upon by a force?

Back

Newton's 1st Law

Front

What type of friction do swimming fish experience?

Back

Fluid Friction

Front

What is a balanced force?

Back

A balanced force does not cause a change in motion.

Front

What does Newton's first law state?

Back

That anything at rest can't be moved unless a force is acted upon it.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force = Mass x Acceleration (F=ma)

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

What is the difference between mass and weight?

Back

Mass is the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force of gravity acting on that mass.

Front

What is Newton's 3rd law?

Back

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

Front

What is an example of unbalanced forces?

Back

A car accelerating when the engine exerts more force than friction.
