Newtons Laws of Motion_Concepts_Story

Front

What is the unit for weight?

Back

N (Newtons)

Front

What does Newton's First Law state?

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 the formula for Newton's Second Law?

Back

F = ma (Force equals mass times acceleration)

Front

What is the attractive force that exists between all objects that have mass?

Back

Gravity

Front

What does Newton's Third Law state?

Back

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

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

How does mass affect acceleration according to Newton's Second Law?

Back

More mass requires more force to achieve the same acceleration.

Front

What is the relationship between weight and mass?

Back

Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object's mass.

Front

What is the difference between mass and weight?

Back

Mass is the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force exerted by gravity on that mass.

Front

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

Back

A book resting on a table will remain at rest until someone pushes it.
