Identifying Newtons Laws

Front

What is Newton's First Law of Motion?

Back

An object at rest will remain at rest, and an object in motion will remain in motion at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force.

Front

What is Newton's Second 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. This is often expressed as the formula: Force = mass x acceleration (F = m x a).

Front

What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?

Back

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

Front

What does inertia mean in the context of Newton's First Law?

Back

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

Front

How does mass affect acceleration according to Newton's Second Law?

Back

A larger mass will result in a smaller acceleration if the same force is applied.

Front

Give an example of Newton's First Law in everyday life.

Back

A soccer ball will not move until a player kicks it.

Front

Give an example of Newton's Second Law in everyday life.

Back

Pushing a shopping cart requires less force than pushing a car because the cart has less mass.

Front

Give an example of Newton's Third Law in everyday life.

Back

When you jump off a small boat, the boat moves backward as you move forward.

Front

What is the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration?

Back

Force is the product of mass and acceleration (F = m x a).

Front

What happens to a stationary object when no net force acts on it?

Back

It remains at rest, according to Newton's First Law.
