Newtons Laws of Motion

Front

What is Newton's 1st Law of Motion?

Back

The Law of Inertia, which states that an object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by an external force.

Front

What is Newton's 2nd Law of Motion?

Back

The Law of Force and Acceleration, which states that the force acting on an object is equal to the mass of that object multiplied by its acceleration (F = ma).

Front

What is Newton's 3rd Law of Motion?

Back

The Law of Action-Reaction, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Front

What is the formula for calculating Force?

Back

Force = Mass x Acceleration.

Front

What is a push or pull on an object called?

Back

Force.

Front

What does inertia refer to?

Back

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

Front

Give 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

Give an example of Newton's 2nd Law in everyday life.

Back

Pushing a shopping cart; the harder you push (more force), the faster it accelerates.

Front

Give an example of Newton's 3rd Law in everyday life.

Back

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

Front

What is mass?

Back

The amount of matter in an object, usually measured in kilograms.
