Identify Newton's Laws of Motion

Front

What is Newton's First Law of Motion?

Back

An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by a net external force.

Provide an example of Newton's First Law of Motion.

Back

A driver slams the brakes, but their body continues to move forward due to inertia.

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 (F=ma).

Front

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

Back

A more massive object requires more force to achieve the same acceleration as a less massive object.

Front

What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?

Back

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

Front

Provide an example of Newton's Third Law of Motion.

Back

When car A collides with car B, the force exerted by car A on car B is equal to the force exerted by car B on car A.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

How does friction relate to Newton's First Law?

Back

Friction is a force that opposes motion, and it can cause an object in motion to eventually come to a stop.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force according to Newton's Second Law?

Back

Force (F) = mass (m) × acceleration (a).

Front

What happens to an object's motion if no net force acts on it?

Back

It will maintain its current state of motion, either at rest or moving at a constant velocity.
