Physics Concepts and Principles

Front

Newton's First Law of Motion

Back

Objects stay at rest or in constant motion unless acted on by an outside force.

Front

Newton's Second Law of Motion

Back

Force equals mass times acceleration (F = ma).

Front

Newton's Third Law of Motion

Back

For every action, there's an equal and opposite reaction.

Front

How to Use F = ma

Back

Multiply mass (kg) by acceleration (m/s²) to get force (N).

Front

Reading a Table for Velocity, Acceleration, Speed

Back

Look for values of time, speed, or acceleration. Identify patterns.

Front

Velocity-time Graph

Back

Slope represents acceleration.

Front

Position-time Graph

Back

Slope represents velocity.

Front

Speed Equation

Back

v = d/t (Speed = distance ÷ time), d = v × t, t = d/v

Front

Finding Acceleration

Back

a = (v_f - v_i) / t

Front

Finding Momentum

Back

p = m × v (Momentum = mass × velocity)
