Who was Sir Isaac Newton?

Back

Famous British scientist who studied motion, gravity, and much more.

Front

What kind(s) of objects have inertia?

Back

All objects with mass.

Front

What is Newton's First Law of Motion?

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force = Mass x Acceleration (F = ma)

Front

What does inertia depend on?

Back

Inertia depends on the mass of an object; more mass means more inertia.

Front

What is Newton's Second Law of Motion?

Back

The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass.

Front

What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?

Back

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