Newtons 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 unless acted upon by an unbalanced 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 inertia?

Back

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

Front

What is a force?

Back

A force is a push or pull on an object that can cause it to change its motion.

Front

What is an unbalanced force?

Back

An unbalanced force is a force that causes an object to change its motion.

Front

What is a balanced force?

Back

Balanced forces are equal in size and opposite in direction, resulting in no change in motion.

Front

What is gravitational force?

Back

Gravitational force is the attraction between two objects due to their mass.

Front

What is friction?

Back

Friction is a force that opposes the motion of an object.

Front

What is mass?

Back

Mass is the amount of matter in an object, usually measured in kilograms.
