Newton's Laws

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 is Newton's Second 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).

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 to calculate force?

Back

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

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

How does mass affect acceleration?

Back

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

Front

What is the unit of force?

Back

The unit of force is the Newton (N).

Front

What happens to a skateboarder who hits a rock while moving?

Back

The skateboard stops due to an unbalanced force, but the skateboarder continues moving due to inertia.

Front

What is the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration?

Back

Force is the product of mass and acceleration (F=ma).

Front

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

Back

When you jump off a small boat, you push the boat backward as you move forward.
