newtons laws

Front

What does Newton's First Law state?

Back

An object at rest will remain at rest unless a force is applied.

Front

What happens to an object if the velocity is to the right?

Back

The object will speed up.

Front

What does Newton's Third Law state?

Back

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

Front

What is net force?

Back

The overall force acting on an object, taking into account all individual forces.

Front

What is a balanced force?

Back

When two forces acting on an object are equal in size but opposite in direction.

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

Force = mass x acceleration (F = ma).

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

The rate of change of velocity of an object.

Front

What is the difference between mass and weight?

Back

Mass is the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force of gravity acting on that mass.

Front

What is an unbalanced force?

Back

When the forces acting on an object are not equal, causing the object to accelerate.
