Newton's Laws of Motion

Front

For every _______ there is an equal and opposite ________.

Back

action, reaction

Front

Why is it harder to push a van filled with bowling balls than it is to push a van with basketballs?

Back

The mass of the bowling balls is greater than the mass of the basketballs.

Front

A 20 kg bike accelerates at 10 m/s². What was the net force?

Back

200 Newtons

Front

45 m/s² represents the ___________________________.

Back

acceleration

Front

What happens to the speed of the wagon as the rain collects inside of it?

Back

it decreases

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 the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force = mass × acceleration (F = m × a)

Front

What is inertia?

Back

Inertia is 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.

Front

What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?

Back

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