Newton's Laws of Motion

Front

What is Newton's 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 is a force?

Back

A push or pull on an object that can cause it to change its motion.

Front

What does Newton's Law of Inertia state?

Back

It describes the tendency of objects to resist changes in their state of motion.

Front

Give an example of Newton's First Law of Motion.

Back

A soccer ball remains motionless until it is kicked by a player.

Front

What happens when two objects collide according to Newton's Third Law?

Back

They hit each other with the same force in opposite directions.

Front

What is Newton's Second 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 inertia?

Back

The property of an object to remain at rest or in uniform motion unless acted upon by a force.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and force in Newton's Second Law?

Back

As mass increases, for a given force, acceleration decreases.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force (F) = mass (m) × acceleration (a).

Front

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

Back

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