Newton's Laws of Motion

Front

What is the standard unit force is measured in?

Back

Newton

Front

How many laws of motion does Newton have?

Back

Three

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 Newton's law does this picture represent?

Back

Newton's 1st law

Front

What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

F = m x a (Force = mass x acceleration)

Front

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

Back

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

Front

What is an example of Newton's Second Law in everyday life?

Back

Pushing a shopping cart: the harder you push (more force), the faster it moves (more acceleration).

Front

What is the relationship between mass and acceleration in Newton's Second Law?

Back

As mass increases, acceleration decreases if the same force is applied.

Front

What is an unbalanced force?

Back

An unbalanced force is a force that causes an object to change its motion.
