Newtons Laws of Motion

Front

What is Newton's 1st Law of Motion?

Back

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 Newton's 2nd Law of Motion?

Back

The acceleration of an object depends on the mass of the object and the amount of force applied. It can be expressed with the formula F = M x A.

Front

What is Newton's 3rd Law of Motion?

Back

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

Front

What does the term 'force' mean in physics?

Back

A push or pull on an object that can cause it to change its motion.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

Give an example of Newton's 1st Law in everyday life.

Back

A book resting on a table will stay there until someone picks it up.

Front

How does mass affect acceleration according to Newton's 2nd Law?

Back

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

Front

What is an example of Newton's 3rd Law?

Back

When you jump off a small boat, you push the boat backward as you move forward.

Front

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

Back

Force equals mass times acceleration (F = M x A).

Front

What happens to a soccer ball when you kick it?

Back

The ball accelerates in the direction of the kick due to the force applied.
