Newtons Laws of Motion

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 unless acted upon by a net external force.

Front

What is Newton's 2nd Law of Motion?

Back

Force equals mass times acceleration (F = m x a). This means the more mass an object has, the more force is needed to move it.

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 friction?

Back

Friction is a force that opposes the motion of an object, causing it to slow down or stop.

Front

What happens to a ball rolling on the ground?

Back

It eventually stops due to friction.

Front

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

Back

A soccer ball will not move until someone kicks it.

Front

What is an example of Newton's 2nd Law?

Back

If you push a toy car harder, it will go faster.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

What is the role of gravity?

Back

Gravity pulls objects toward each other, like the Earth pulling us down.
