Newton's Laws of Motion

Front

What is the term for the resistance or force of equal magnitude acting in the opposite direction to an action force?

Back

Reaction

Front

What is the rate of change in an object's speed called?

Back

Acceleration

Front

What is a push or pull that can change the motion of an object?

Back

Force

Front

Which law states that acceleration of an object depends on the object's mass and the magnitude of the force acting upon it (F=ma)?

Back

Newton's Second Law of Motion

Front

What term describes the size or quantity of something?

Back

Magnitude

Front

What is the first law of motion that states an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by a net external force?

Back

Newton's First Law of Motion

Front

What is the third law of motion that states for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction?

Back

Newton's Third Law of Motion

Front

What is the term for the change in velocity over time?

Back

Acceleration

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

F = ma (Force = mass x acceleration)

Front

What is the term for the quantity of motion an object has, which depends on its mass and velocity?

Back

Momentum
