newtons law 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 an unbalanced force.

Front

What does inertia mean?

Back

Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion. The more mass an object has, the more inertia it has.

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 summarized by the formula F=ma (Force = mass x acceleration).

Front

What is a force?

Back

A force is a push or pull exerted on an object that can cause it to accelerate.

Front

What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?

Back

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

Front

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

Back

As mass increases, for a given force, acceleration decreases.

Front

What is gravitational force?

Back

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

Front

What is an example of Newton's First Law in everyday life?

Back

A soccer ball will not move until a player kicks it, demonstrating that an object at rest stays at rest.

Front

How does mass affect inertia?

Back

The greater the mass of an object, the greater its inertia, meaning it will be harder to change its motion.

Front

What is an example of Newton's Third Law?

Back

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