Newton's Laws of Motion

Front

What is Newton's First Law known as?

Back

The Law of Inertia.

Front

Which law of motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction?

Back

Newton's Third Law.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

What are unbalanced forces?

Back

Unbalanced forces are forces that cause an object to accelerate or change its motion.

Front

What are balanced forces?

Back

Balanced forces are equal in size and opposite in direction, resulting in no change in motion.

Front

What does Newton's Second Law state?

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 the formula for Newton's Second Law?

Back

F = ma (Force = mass x acceleration).

Front

Which has more inertia: a car or a bicycle?

Back

A car has more inertia than a bicycle.

Front

What is an example of Newton's First Law?

Back

A book resting on a table will remain at rest until someone pushes it.

Front

What is an example of Newton's Second Law?

Back

A heavier object requires more force to accelerate than a lighter object.
