newtons 3 laws

Front

What is Newton's First Law of Motion?

Back

An object in motion stays in motion, and an object at rest stays at rest until acted on 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 = m x a).

Front

What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?

Back

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

Front

What is Inertia?

Back

An object's tendency to remain in its current state of motion (either at rest or moving) unless acted upon by an external force.

Front

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

Back

More mass requires more force to achieve the same acceleration.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

F = m x a (Force equals mass times acceleration).

Front

What does it mean when we say 'equal and opposite reaction'?

Back

For every action force, there is a reaction force that is equal in size and opposite in direction.

Front

Can an object be in motion if no forces are acting on it?

Back

Yes, an object in motion will continue moving at a constant velocity if no net external forces act on it.

Front

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

Back

A soccer ball remains at rest until a player kicks it.

Front

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

Back

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