Newton's Laws of Motion Review

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 an unbalanced force.

Front

Define 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).

Front

What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?

Back

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

Front

Give an example of Newton's First Law of Motion.

Back

A soccer ball will not move until a player kicks it.

Front

What does the term 'net force' mean?

Back

Net force is the total force acting on an object after all the forces are combined.

Front

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

Back

As mass increases, acceleration decreases if the same force is applied.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

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

Front

Provide an example of Newton's Third Law of Motion.

Back

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

Front

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

Back

Force is the product of mass and acceleration; more force results in greater acceleration.
