Newton's 3 Laws Flashcard

Front

What is Newton's First Law known as?

Back

The Law of Inertia.

Front

What does Newton's Second Law 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 Newton's Third Law of Motion?

Back

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

Front

Define gravitational force.

Back

The force of attraction between two masses.

Front

What is the formula to calculate acceleration?

Back

a = F/m, where F is force and m is mass.

Front

What is frictional force?

Back

The force that opposes the motion of an object.

Front

Give an example of gravitational force in action.

Back

A ball falling to the ground.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

The tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

What is an example of Newton's Third Law of Motion?

Back

A rocket launching into space.
