Newton's 3 Laws 24

Front

What is Newton's 1st Law of Motion?

Back

An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by a net external force.

Front

What is Newton's 2nd 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. This is often expressed as F = ma.

Front

What is Newton's 3rd 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) x acceleration (a).

Front

If a 10 kg object is accelerating at 2 m/s², what is the force acting on it?

Back

20 N (calculated using F = ma).

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 according to Newton's 2nd Law?

Back

As mass increases, acceleration decreases for a given force.

Front

What is an example of Newton's 3rd Law in everyday life?

Back

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

Front

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

Back

Force is the product of mass and acceleration; increasing either mass or acceleration increases the force.

Front

What happens to an object in motion if no net force acts on it?

Back

It will continue to move at a constant velocity.
