Newton's Laws of Motion

Front

What does Newton's third law state?

Back

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

Front

What is a PUSH or PULL of an object?

Back

Force.

Front

What is the 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 attractive force that exists between all objects that have mass?

Back

Gravity.

Front

What does it mean when forces are balanced?

Back

The object is not accelerating.

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 x Acceleration (F = ma).

Front

What is mass?

Back

The amount of matter in an object, usually measured in kilograms.

Front

What is weight?

Back

The force exerted by gravity on an object, calculated as Weight = Mass x Gravity.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

The rate of change of velocity of an object.
