Identify Newton's Laws of Motion

Front

What is Newton's 1st 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.

Provide an example of Newton's 1st Law of Motion.

Back

When a driver slams their brakes, the driver continues to move forward when the car comes to a complete stop.

Front

What is Newton's 2nd 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).

Provide an example of Newton's 2nd Law of Motion.

Back

A truck requires more force to start moving than a car due to its greater mass.

Front

What is Newton's 3rd Law of Motion?

Back

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

Provide an example of Newton's 3rd Law of Motion.

Back

A ball bounces off a wall. The wall applies the same force back on the ball as the ball applied on it.

Front

What does inertia mean in the context of Newton's 1st Law?

Back

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

Front

How does mass affect inertia?

Back

The greater the mass of an object, the greater its inertia, making it harder to change its motion.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force according to Newton's 2nd Law?

Back

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

Front

How does acceleration relate to force and mass?

Back

Acceleration is directly proportional to the net force acting on an object and inversely proportional to its mass.
