Back

Newton's 2nd Law

Front

The force that opposes motion between two surfaces in contact with each other.

Back

friction

Front

A cannonball with a mass of 0.5 kg is flying at an acceleration of 10 m/sec/sec. What is its force?

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 x Acceleration (F = m * a)

Front

What is inertia?

Back

Inertia is the property of matter that causes it to resist changes in its state of motion.

Front

What is friction?

Back

Friction is the force that opposes the relative motion of two surfaces in contact.

Front

What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?

Back

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