FAST and CURIOUS VOCAB NEWTONS LAWS

Front

What are electromagnetic waves?

Back

Electromagnetic waves are waves that can travel through the vacuum of space and include all light waves.

Front

What is friction?

Back

Friction is a force that opposes motion between two surfaces in contact.

Front

What unit is used to measure force?

Back

The unit used to measure force is the Newton.

Front

What does unbalanced mean in terms of forces?

Back

Unbalanced refers to forces that cause a change in the motion of an object.

Front

What is speed?

Back

Speed is the rate at which an object moves.

Front

What is a balanced force?

Back

Balanced forces are two forces acting in opposite directions on an object, and equal in size, resulting in no change in motion.

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

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