Newton's Three Laws of Motion

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

Velocity has direction, while speed does not.

Front

What is a push or pull called?

Back

A force.

Front

What is the rubbing force that acts against motion between two touching surfaces?

Back

Friction.

Front

What law states that acceleration is caused by a force acting on a mass?

Back

Newton’s second law of motion.

Front

What is velocity?

Back

An object's speed and direction.

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 third law of motion?

Back

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

Front

What unit is used to measure force?

Back

Newton (N).

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force = mass × acceleration (F = ma).

Front

What is inertia?

Back

The tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.
