Newton's Laws of Motion

Front

What is the standard unit force is measured in?

Back

Newtons

Front

According to Newton's First Law of Motion, how long will an object remain at rest?

Back

Until an unbalanced force occurs.

Front

What can you do to accelerate the rate at which you can pull a wagon?

Back

Pull the wagon with more force.

Front

If Brandon wants the baseball to go far, what type of force must he use when swinging the bat?

Back

More force.

Front

What is the force that draws all objects towards Earth?

Back

Gravity.

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 does Newton's Second Law of Motion state?

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 the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force = Mass x Acceleration (F = ma).

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

What is the relationship between mass and weight?

Back

Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object's mass (Weight = Mass x Gravity).
