Newton's Laws of Motion_12.06.24

Front

What is Newton's First Law of Motion?

Back

An object at rest tends to stay at rest, and an object in motion tends to stay in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

Front

What does Newton's Second Law of Motion state?

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

What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?

Back

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

Front

What is a balanced force?

Back

Forces that are equal in size but opposite in direction, resulting in no change in motion.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

The tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.

Front

What is the net force on an object at rest?

Back

0 N.

How does increasing force affect acceleration?

Back

Increasing the force applied to an object results in greater acceleration.

Back

The force that opposes the motion of an object in contact with a surface.
