Front

If an object is stationary, what can we say about the forces acting upon it?

Back

The forces are balanced.

Front

What is Newton's 2nd law of motion?

Back

Force = Mass multiplied by acceleration.

Front

What is the net force acting on an object if all forces are balanced?

Back

0 N

Front

What is the formula for calculating force according to Newton's 2nd law?

Back

Force = Mass × Acceleration

Front

What is inertia in the context of Newton's 1st law of motion?

Back

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

Front

What does Newton's 1st law of motion state?

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 relationship between mass and acceleration in Newton's 2nd law?

Back

For a given force, an increase in mass results in a decrease in acceleration.

Front

What is an example of Newton's 3rd law of motion?

Back

When you jump off a small boat, the boat moves backward.
