Newton's Laws of Motion

Front

What does Newton's First Law of Motion state?

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 term for the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion?

Back

Inertia

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

F = M * A (Force equals mass times acceleration)

Front

What is the term for speed with a direction?

Back

Velocity

Front

What is the 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 the formula for acceleration?

Back

A = F / M (Acceleration equals force divided by mass)

Front

What is the term for the force that opposes motion between two surfaces in contact?

Back

Friction

Front

What is the third law of motion?

Back

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

Front

What is the unit of force in the International System of Units (SI)?

Back

Newton (N)

Front

What is the relationship between mass and weight?

Back

Weight is the force exerted by gravity on an object, calculated as W = M * g (Weight equals mass times gravitational acceleration).
