newton laws of motion

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 with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by a net external force.

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. (F = ma)

Front

What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?

Back

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

Front

Define force in the context of Newton's laws.

Back

A force is a push or pull on an object that can cause it to accelerate.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force (F) = mass (m) × acceleration (a)

Front

What happens when two forces act in opposite directions?

Back

The net force is the difference between the two forces, and the object will move in the direction of the larger force.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and acceleration according to Newton's Second Law?

Back

As mass increases, acceleration decreases if the force remains constant.

Front

What is an example of Newton's Third Law in everyday life?

Back

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

Front

What is the significance of the Law of Inertia in motion?

Back

It explains why objects in motion tend to stay in motion and why objects at rest tend to stay at rest.
