Back

Back

Front

Which of Newton's Laws of motion best explains why motorists should buckle up?

Back

1st law of motion

Front

What is Newton's law of motion which states that the net force acting upon the object is equal to the mass of the object times its acceleration?

Back

Newton's 2nd law

Front

In every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects. This is known as _______.

Back

Action/Reaction

Front

What is the first 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 does the second law of motion explain?

Back

It 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.

Front

What is the formula for Newton's second law?

Back

F = m * a (Force = mass x acceleration)

Front

What is the third law of motion?

Back

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