3 Laws

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 a net external force.

Front

What is Newton's 2nd 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 (F = ma).

Front

What is Newton's 3rd Law of Motion?

Back

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

Front

What does the term 'inertia' mean?

Back

Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist a change in its motion.

Front

How does mass affect acceleration according to Newton's 2nd Law?

Back

A larger mass results in less acceleration for the same amount of force applied.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

F = ma, where F is force, m is mass, and a is acceleration.

Front

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

Back

A book resting on a table will remain at rest until someone pushes it.

Front

What is an example of Newton's 2nd Law in action?

Back

A small car accelerates faster than a large truck when the same force is applied.

Front

What is an example of Newton's 3rd Law?

Back

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

Front

What is the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration?

Back

Force is the product of mass and acceleration; increasing mass decreases acceleration for a constant force.
