Back

Inertia

Front

An empty truck and a fully loaded truck are next to each other at a traffic light. When the light turns green, the lighter truck increases speed more quickly. Which of these best explains this situation?

Back

Newton's second law

Front

A force of 90N is applied to each cart below, which one will accelerate the fastest?

Back

Cart 1

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 (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 unit of force in the International System of Units (SI)?

Back

Newton (N)

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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