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 a net external force.

Front

What is Newton's 2nd 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 (F=ma).

Front

What is Newton's 3rd Law of Motion?

Back

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

Front

What is a lever?

Back

A simple machine consisting of a rigid bar that pivots on a fixed point called the fulcrum.

Front

What is a wedge?

Back

A simple machine that is a triangular shaped tool used to separate two objects or portions of an object.

Front

What is force?

Back

A push or pull on an object that can cause it to accelerate.

Front

What does it mean for forces to be balanced?

Back

Forces are balanced when they are equal in size and opposite in direction, resulting in no change in motion.

Front

What is an example of an inclined plane?

Back

A ramp is an example of an inclined plane, which helps lift objects to a higher elevation.

Front

What is a pulley?

Back

A simple machine that consists of a wheel on an axle or shaft designed to support movement and change of direction of force.

Front

What is friction?

Back

A force that opposes the motion of an object, caused by the contact between two surfaces.
