Newton's Laws of Motion

Front

What is a Balanced Force?

Back

A balanced force occurs when the net force acting on an object is zero, resulting in no change in motion.

Front

What is an Unbalanced Force?

Back

An unbalanced force occurs when the net force acting on an object is not zero, causing the object to accelerate in the direction of the net force.

Front

What does Newton's First Law state?

Back

Newton's First Law, also known as the Law of Inertia, states that an object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

Front

What is the formula to calculate force?

Back

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

Front

If a 20 kg bike accelerates at 10 m/s², what is the force applied?

Back

200 Newtons.

Front

What is the definition of Mass?

Back

Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, typically measured in kilograms.

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 the relationship between mass, force, and acceleration?

Back

According to Newton's Second Law, the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass.

Front

What is an example of an object in motion?

Back

A car driving down the road is an example of an object in motion.

Front

What is an example of an object at rest?

Back

A cat sitting on a couch is an example of an object at rest.
