Newton's Laws

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 an unbalanced force.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

The tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and acceleration in Newton's 2nd Law?

Back

Acceleration is directly proportional to the net force acting on an object and inversely proportional to its mass.

Front

What is an example of Newton's 1st Law?

Back

A book resting on a table will remain at rest until someone pushes it.

Front

How does friction affect motion?

Back

Friction is a force that opposes motion, causing objects to slow down or stop.

Front

What is the unit of force?

Back

Newton (N).
