Newtons Laws

Front

What is Newton's First Law known as?

Back

The Law of Inertia

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 (F=ma).

Front

What is the formula for calculating weight?

Back

Weight = mass × gravitational acceleration (W = mg).

Front

What does Newton's Third Law state?

Back

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

Front

What is the net force if two forces of 300 N and 100 N act in opposite directions?

Back

Net Force = 300 N - 100 N = 200 N.

Front

Define inertia in the context of Newton's First Law.

Back

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

Front

What is the unit of force in the International System of Units (SI)?

Back

Newton (N).

Front

How does mass affect the acceleration of an object according to Newton's Second Law?

Back

Greater mass results in less acceleration for the same amount of force applied.

Front

What is gravitational force?

Back

The force of attraction between two masses, commonly referred to as weight when considering the Earth's mass.

Front

If an object is at rest, what can be said about the net force acting on it?

Back

The net force is zero.
