Newtons Laws of Motion

Front

What is Newton's 1st Law of Motion?

Back

An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by an outside force.

Front

What does friction do?

Back

Friction is a force that opposes motion between two surfaces that are in contact.

Front

What is the formula for Newton's 2nd Law of Motion?

Back

F = M x A (Force equals mass times acceleration).

Front

What is Newton's 3rd Law of Motion?

Back

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

Front

What happens to a ball when it hits the ground?

Back

The ball exerts a force on the ground, and the ground exerts a force back on the ball, causing it to bounce.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

What is mass?

Back

Mass is the amount of matter in an object, usually measured in kilograms.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate at which an object changes its velocity.

Front

What is an example of Newton's 1st Law?

Back

A book on a table stays at rest until someone pushes it.

Front

What is an example of friction?

Back

When you slide a book across a table, it slows down because of friction.
