Newtons Laws

Front

What is Newton's First Law of Motion?

Back

An object in motion will stay in motion and an object at rest will stay at rest unless acted upon by an outside force.

Front

What is the formula to calculate force?

Back

Force (F) = Mass (m) × Acceleration (a)

Front

If a 2 kg object is accelerated at 6 m/s², what is the force applied?

Back

12 N

Front

What happens when two forces of equal magnitude act in opposite directions?

Back

The object will not move at all.

Front

What is the net force on an object at rest?

Back

Zero.

Front

What is Newton's Second 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.

Front

What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?

Back

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

Front

How does mass affect acceleration when a constant force is applied?

Back

Greater mass results in less acceleration.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

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

Back

Force is the product of mass and acceleration.
