Newton's Laws of Force and Motion

Front

What is the force that attracts or repels objects based on their charges?

Back

Electrostatic force

Front

Which of Newton's laws states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass?

Back

Newton's second law of motion

Front

What force pulls objects towards the center of the Earth?

Back

Gravity

Front

What is the force that opposes motion when two surfaces are in contact?

Back

Friction

Front

Which of Newton's laws explains the backward force felt when a car accelerates suddenly?

Back

Newton's first law of motion

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for Newton's second law of motion?

Back

F = ma (Force equals mass times acceleration)

Front

What is gravitational force?

Back

Gravitational force is the attraction between two masses.

Front

What is the difference between mass and weight?

Back

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

Front

What is the role of friction in motion?

Back

Friction opposes the motion of objects and can cause them to slow down or stop.
