Newtons Laws of motion

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 with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

Front

What is the formula to calculate speed?

Back

S = d/t

Front

What is an unbalanced force?

Back

A force that causes an object to change its state of motion.

Front

What happens when forces are balanced?

Back

The object does not accelerate; it remains at rest or continues to move at a constant speed.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

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 the effect of gravity on falling objects?

Back

Gravity causes objects to accelerate downwards at approximately 9.8 m/s².

Front

What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?

Back

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

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

Speed is a scalar quantity that refers to how fast an object is moving, while velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction.

Front

What is a position vs. time graph?

Back

A graph that shows how the position of an object changes over time.
