Forces and Newton's Law's

Front

What is Newton's 1st Law?

Back

The Law of Inertia: 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 the definition of net force?

Back

The overall force acting on an object, taking into account all individual forces acting on it.

Front

What does Newton's 2nd Law state?

Back

The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass (F = m * a).

Front

How do you calculate speed?

Back

Speed = distance / time.

Front

What is Newton's 3rd Law?

Back

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

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

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

Front

What is the unit of force?

Back

The Newton (N).

Front

What is the relationship between mass and acceleration in Newton's 2nd Law?

Back

As mass increases, acceleration decreases for a given force.

Front

What happens to an object in motion if no net force acts on it?

Back

It continues to move at a constant velocity.
