Newton's Laws of Motion

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 net force on an object at rest?

Back

0 N.

Front

What is the formula for Newton's Second Law of Motion?

Back

Force = Mass × Acceleration.

Front

What is an example of unbalanced forces?

Back

A car speeding up.

Front

What happens to a soccer ball that is not kicked?

Back

It remains motionless until acted upon by a force.

Front

If a 20 kg bike accelerates at 10 m/s², what is the net force?

Back

200 Newtons.

Front

What is the definition of net force?

Back

The overall force acting on an object when all the individual forces are combined.

Front

What is an example of balanced forces?

Back

A book resting on a table.

Front

What does acceleration depend on according to Newton's Second Law?

Back

It depends on the net force acting on the object and its mass.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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