9.8 m/s²

Front

Which law explains why a picture hanging on the wall does not move?

Back

First law

Front

Which law best explains why heavier objects require more force to be moved?

Back

Second Law

Front

Which formula represents Newton's 2nd law of motion?

Back

F=ma

Front

What will happen to the mass of a ball if it is moved from Earth to the Moon?

Back

The mass stays the same

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 a net external 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.

Front

What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?

Back

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

Front

What does the term 'force' mean in physics?

Back

A push or pull on an object that can cause it to accelerate.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

F = ma (Force = mass × acceleration)
