Newton's Laws Review

Front

What is Newton's First Law of Motion?

Back

An object in motion will stay in motion and an object at rest will stay at rest unless acted upon by an outside force.

Front

What does Newton's Second Law of Motion state?

Back

The acceleration of an object depends on the mass of the object and the amount of force applied.

Front

What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?

Back

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

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 Second Law?

Back

A larger mass requires a greater force to achieve the same acceleration as a smaller mass.

Front

What is the formula for Newton's Second Law?

Back

F = ma (Force equals mass times acceleration).

Front

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

Back

A soccer ball will not move until a player kicks it.

Front

What is an example of Newton's Second Law in action?

Back

Pushing a shopping cart requires more force when it is full compared to when it is empty.

Front

What is an example of Newton's Third Law?

Back

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

Front

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

Back

Force is directly proportional to acceleration and inversely proportional to mass.
