Newtons 3 Laws

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 with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

Front

What is the Law of Inertia?

Back

It is another name for Newton's First Law of Motion, which states that objects will not change their state of motion unless a force acts on them.

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. This is often expressed as the formula F=ma.

Front

What does the formula F=ma represent?

Back

It represents Newton's Second Law of Motion, where F is force, m is mass, and a is acceleration.

Front

What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?

Back

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

Front

What does 'action and reaction' mean in Newton's Third Law?

Back

It means that when one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts a force of equal strength in the opposite direction on the first object.

Front

How does mass affect acceleration according to Newton's Second Law?

Back

As mass increases, acceleration decreases if the same force is applied.

Front

What happens to the acceleration of an object if the force applied is doubled?

Back

The acceleration of the object will also double, assuming the mass remains constant.

Front

What is an example of Newton's First Law in everyday life?

Back

A book resting on a table will remain at rest until someone pushes it.

Front

How does Newton's Second Law apply to a car accelerating?

Back

The more force applied to the car, the greater its acceleration, but if the car's mass increases (e.g., carrying more passengers), the acceleration will decrease.
