Newtons Laws Of Motion

Front

What is the attractive force that exists between all objects that have mass?

Back

Gravity is the force that attracts two bodies towards each other, depending on their masses and the distance between them.

Front

What is Newton's 1st Law of Motion?

Back

An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion at a constant velocity unless acted upon by a net external force.

Front

What is Newton's 2nd 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 3rd Law of Motion?

Back

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

Front

What is a PUSH or PULL of an object?

Back

A force is any interaction that, when unopposed, will change the motion of an object.

Front

What is the difference between mass and weight?

Back

Mass is the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force exerted by gravity on that mass.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force (F) is calculated using the formula F = mass (m) × acceleration (a).

Front

What is friction?

Back

Friction is the force that opposes the motion of an object when it is in contact with another surface.

Front

What is an example of Newton's 1st Law of Motion?

Back

When a car suddenly stops, passengers lurch forward due to inertia.
