Newton's Laws of Motion

Front

What pulls a ball back to earth?

Back

Gravity is the force that pulls objects towards each other, and it pulls a ball back to Earth.

Front

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This statement is known as:

Back

Newton's 3rd Law of Motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

The English Scientist who developed three laws of motion was called:

Back

Sir Isaac Newton is the scientist known for formulating the three laws of motion.

Front

How many laws of motion does Newton have?

Back

Newton has three laws of motion.

Front

The first law of motion states that objects in motion will:

Back

stay in motion unless acted upon by an external force.

Front

What is Newton's 1st Law of Motion?

Back

Newton's 1st Law of Motion states that an object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion at a constant velocity unless acted upon by a net external force.

Front

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

Back

Friction is the force that opposes the relative motion of two surfaces in contact.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force (F) is calculated using the formula F = mass (m) × acceleration (a).

Front

What does Newton's 2nd Law of Motion explain?

Back

Newton's 2nd Law of Motion explains how the velocity of an object changes when it is subjected to an external force.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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