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 an unbalanced force.

Front

What is Newton's Second Law of Motion?

Back

The force of an object is the product of its mass multiplied by its acceleration (F = ma).

Front

What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?

Back

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

Front

What is net force?

Back

The overall force acting on an object when all the individual forces are combined.

Front

What does it mean for forces to be balanced?

Back

Balanced forces result in a net force of zero, meaning the object does not accelerate.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

The rate of change of velocity of an object.

Front

What is velocity?

Back

The speed of an object in a specific direction.

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

Speed is a scalar quantity that refers to how fast an object is moving, while velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction.

Front

What is friction?

Back

A force that opposes the motion of an object.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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