newtons laws

Front

What does Newton's third law state?

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for calculating net force?

Back

Net Force = Total Forces acting in one direction - Total Forces acting in the opposite direction.

Front

If 8 N is applied to the left and 4 N to the right, what is the net force?

Back

4 N to the left.

Front

What are the appropriate units to describe acceleration?

Back

m/s² (meters per second squared).

Front

Which law of motion states that an unbalanced force is required to change an object's motion?

Back

Newton's First Law of Motion.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

What is the relationship between mass and acceleration in Newton's Second Law?

Back

Acceleration is directly proportional to the net force and inversely proportional to the mass of the object (F = ma).

Front

What is the net force if two equal forces of 3 N are acting in opposite directions?

Back

0 N (balanced forces).

Front

What is the effect of a net force of 6 N on an object?

Back

The object will accelerate in the direction of the net force.

Front

What does it mean for forces to be balanced?

Back

Balanced forces result in no change in motion; the net force is zero.
