Newton's 3 Laws 24

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 with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced 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. This is often expressed as 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 inertia?

Back

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

Front

What is net force?

Back

Net force is the overall force acting on an object when all the individual forces are combined.

Front

What does it mean for an object to accelerate?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object. It can occur due to a change in speed or direction.

Front

What is an example of Newton's 1st Law in everyday life?

Back

A passenger in a car continues to move forward when the car suddenly stops.

Front

How does mass affect acceleration according to Newton's 2nd Law?

Back

As mass increases, acceleration decreases for a given force.

Front

What is an example of Newton's 3rd Law?

Back

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

Front

What is the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration?

Back

Force equals mass times acceleration (F=ma).
