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 at a constant velocity unless acted upon by a net external force.

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 does Newton's Second Law of Motion state?

Back

Force equals mass multiplied by acceleration (F = ma).

Front

What is the standard unit of force?

Back

Newtons (N).

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object, measured in meters per second squared (m/s²).

Front

What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?

Back

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

Front

What is inertia?

Back

Inertia is the tendency 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, meaning it will be harder to change its motion.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force (F) = Mass (m) × Acceleration (a).

Front

What is the relationship between mass and weight?

Back

Weight is the force exerted by gravity on an object, calculated as Weight = Mass × Gravitational Acceleration.
