Front

What is the net force when 400 N is acting downwards?

Back

400 N Down

Front

What is the name for a single force on an object with the same effect as all the forces combined?

Back

Resultant

Front

Which has more inertia: Truck, Ant, Cat, or Skateboard?

Back

Truck

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 unless acted upon by a net external 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 inertia?

Back

The tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.

Front

How does mass affect inertia?

Back

The greater the mass of an object, the greater its inertia.
