Newton's Laws of Motion Day 1

Front

What is Newton's Second Law of Motion?

Back

F = m x a (Force equals mass times acceleration)

Front

What is a push or pull called?

Back

Force

Front

What is the standard unit of force?

Back

Newton

Front

Which law describes an object in motion staying in motion unless acted upon by an external force?

Back

Law of Inertia

Front

Which has more inertia: Truck, Cat, Ant, or Skateboard?

Back

Truck

Front

What does 'inertia' refer to?

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

F = m x a

Front

What is the relationship between mass and acceleration in Newton's Second Law?

Back

As mass increases, acceleration decreases if force is constant.

Front

What is an example of action and reaction forces?

Back

When a rocket launches, the action is the rocket pushing down on the ground, and the reaction is the ground pushing the rocket upward.

Front

What is the effect of gravity on an object in free fall?

Back

It accelerates the object downward at 9.8 m/s².
