Newton's Laws

Front

What is Newton's 1st Law?

Back

An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion at a constant speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

Front

What is Newton's 2nd Law?

Back

Acceleration depends on two variables: the mass of the object and the amount of force applied.

Front

What is Newton's 3rd Law?

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for calculating speed?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time.

Front

What is average speed?

Back

Total distance divided by total time.

Front

What does mass refer to in physics?

Back

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

Front

What is force?

Back

A push or pull on an object that can cause it to accelerate, measured in Newtons.

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 acceleration according to Newton's 2nd Law?

Back

Greater mass results in less acceleration for the same amount of force applied.

Front

What is the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration?

Back

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