Newton's Laws

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 an unbalanced force.

Front

What happens to a moving object if no unbalanced force acts on it?

Back

It will remain in motion.

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

Velocity has direction, while speed does not.

Front

Give an example of velocity.

Back

25 m/s East.

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 the formula for Newton's Second Law?

Back

Force = Mass x Acceleration (F = ma).

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

What is an example of an object in motion?

Back

A car driving down the road.

Front

What is an example of an object at rest?

Back

A book lying on a table.

Front

What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?

Back

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