Newton's Laws of Motion

Front

What does Newton's Third Law state?

Back

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

Front

What is Newton's First Law known as?

Back

The Law of Inertia.

Front

What does Newton's Second Law explain?

Back

The relationship between force, mass, and acceleration (F=ma).

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

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

Back

More mass requires more force to achieve the same acceleration.

Front

What is an example of Newton's First Law?

Back

A passenger lurches forward in their seat when a car suddenly stops.

Front

What is an example of Newton's Second Law?

Back

A heavier object requires more force to push than a lighter object.

Front

What is an example of Newton's Third Law?

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for Newton's Second Law?

Back

F = ma (Force = mass x acceleration).

Front

What happens to an object at rest according to Newton's First Law?

Back

It will remain at rest unless acted upon by an external force.
