Newtons 3 Laws of Motion

Front

What is Newton's 1st Law of Motion?

Back

An object in motion stays in motion, and an object at rest stays at rest unless acted upon by an 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, expressed as F=ma.

Front

What is Newton's 3rd Law of Motion?

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

Who formulated the 3 Laws of Motion?

Back

Sir Isaac Newton.

Front

What does the term 'mass' refer to in physics?

Back

The amount of matter in an object, which affects its resistance to acceleration.

Front

How does force relate to mass and acceleration?

Back

According to Newton's 2nd Law, force equals mass times acceleration (F=ma).

Front

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

Back

It will continue moving at a constant velocity.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

What is the relationship between force and acceleration?

Back

The greater the force applied to an object, the greater the acceleration it will experience.
