Identify Newton's Laws of Motion

Front

What is Newton's 1st Law of Motion?

Back

An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by a net external force.

Front

What is Newton's 2nd 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. (F = ma)

Front

What is Newton's 3rd Law of Motion?

Back

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

Front

What is weight?

Back

Weight is the force acting on an object due to gravity, calculated as the mass of the object multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity (W = mg).

Front

What is mass?

Back

Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, typically measured in kilograms.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object, measured in meters per second squared (m/s²).

Front

What is friction?

Back

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

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

What is the relationship between force and acceleration?

Back

The larger the force applied to an object, the greater its acceleration, according to Newton's 2nd Law.

Front

What is an example of Newton's 1st Law in everyday life?

Back

A passenger lurches forward in a car when it suddenly stops.
