Newton's First Law

Front

Because of inertia, a resting object will remain at ________.

Back

rest

Front

What force causes objects that are moving to come to a stop?

Back

friction

Front

The tendency of an object to resist a change in motion is...

Back

inertia

Front

Objects tend to stay at rest unless acted upon by ______.

Back

An outside force

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 inertia?

Back

Inertia is the property of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.

Front

How does mass affect inertia?

Back

The greater the mass of an object, the greater its inertia.

Front

What is a net force?

Back

The overall force acting on an object when all the individual forces are combined.

Front

If two forces of equal magnitude act in opposite directions on an object, what is the net force?

Back

0 N (the forces cancel each other out).

Front

What happens to a moving object if no net force acts on it?

Back

It continues to move at a constant speed in a straight line.
