newtons laws of motion

Front

What does Newton's First Law of Motion state?

Back

An object at rest will remain at rest, and an object in motion will remain in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

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).

What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?

Back

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

What happens when you push a stationary object?

Back

If the force is unbalanced, the object will start to move; if balanced, it will remain at rest.

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

Back

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

What is the unit of force?

Back

The unit of force is the Newton (N).

Front

How does friction affect motion?

Back

Friction opposes the motion of an object, acting as an unbalanced force.
