Newtons Laws Of Motion

Front

What is a PUSH or PULL of an object?

Back

Force

Front

If an object is stationary (not moving) the forces acting upon it are _____________

Back

balanced

Front

This law states that an object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by a net external force.

Back

Newton's First Law (Law of Inertia)

Front

This law states that the acceleration of an object depends on the mass of the object and the amount of force applied.

Back

Newton's Second Law (Law of Acceleration)

Front

This law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Back

Newton's Third Law (Law of Action-Reaction)

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force = Mass x Acceleration (F = m x a)

Front

What is the term for the force that opposes motion between two surfaces in contact?

Back

Friction

Front

What is the force that pulls objects toward each other, such as the Earth pulling us down?

Back

Gravity

Front

What do the letters F, m, and a represent in the formula F = m x a?

Back

F = Force, m = Mass, a = Acceleration

Front

What type of force is always present when two objects are touching each other?

Back

Contact Force
