Newton's Laws Flashcardizz

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 with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

Front

What is Newton's Second 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 Third Law of Motion?

Back

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

Front

What is the definition of force?

Back

A push or pull on an object resulting from the object's interaction with another object.

Front

What is net force?

Back

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

Front

How do you calculate weight?

Back

Weight is calculated using the formula: Weight (W) = mass (m) × gravitational acceleration (g), where g is approximately 9.8 m/s² on Earth.

Front

What is friction?

Back

A force that opposes the motion of an object.

Front

What happens to the forces during a collision?

Back

During a collision, forces are exerted on both objects involved, and they experience equal and opposite forces.

Front

What is the unit of force?

Back

The unit of force is the Newton (N).

Front

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

Back

As mass increases, acceleration decreases for a given force.
