Newton's. Laws

Front

What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?

Back

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

Front

What is the acceleration due to gravity on Earth?

Back

9.8 m/s².

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 inertia?

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

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

Front

What does it mean when we say an object is in free fall?

Back

An object is in free fall when the only force acting on it is gravity.

Front

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

Back

Greater mass results in less acceleration for the same amount of force applied.

Front

What is the relationship between action and reaction forces?

Back

Action and reaction forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.

Front

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

Back

A book resting on a table will remain at rest until someone pushes it.

Front

What is the significance of the 9.8 m/s² value?

Back

It represents the acceleration of objects due to gravity on Earth.
