Why is it harder for the boy to get down the hill in Image B?

Back

Friction

Front

What does Newton's Second Law state?

Back

Force equals mass times acceleration (F = ma).

Front

What is inertia?

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 * a (Force = mass x acceleration).

Front

What is an example of Newton's Third Law?

Back

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

Front

What happens to an object in motion according to Newton's First Law?

Back

It will remain in motion unless acted upon by an external force.

Front

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

Back

As mass increases, acceleration decreases if the force is constant.
