Newton's Laws of Motion

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 an unbalanced force.

Front

What is Newton's 2nd Law of Motion?

Back

The acceleration of an object depends on the mass of the object and the amount of force applied. It can be expressed as Force = Mass x Acceleration (F = ma).

Front

What is Newton's 3rd Law of Motion?

Back

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

Front

How many laws of motion did Newton propose?

Back

Newton proposed 3 laws of motion.

Front

What does inertia mean in the context of Newton's 1st Law?

Back

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

Front

Give an example of Newton's 1st Law in everyday life.

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for calculating force according to Newton's 2nd Law?

Back

Force = Mass x Acceleration (F = ma).

Front

How does mass affect acceleration according to Newton's 2nd Law?

Back

As mass increases, acceleration decreases if the same amount of force is applied.

Front

Provide an example of Newton's 3rd Law in action.

Back

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

Front

What happens to a moving object if no external force acts on it, according to Newton's 1st Law?

Back

It will continue to move at a constant velocity.
