Front

What happens when a person hits a rock while skateboarding?

Back

The skateboard stops, but the person continues moving due to inertia.

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 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.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

The tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.

Front

What is an example of Newton's 2nd Law in action?

Back

A heavier object requires more force to move than a lighter object.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force = Mass x Acceleration (F = ma).
