Newton's INB Check for Understanding

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 at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

Front

What is Newton's 2nd 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 (F=ma).

Front

What is Newton's 3rd Law of Motion?

Back

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

Front

What does inertia mean?

Back

Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.

Front

What is an example of Newton's 1st Law?

Back

A soccer ball will not move until someone kicks it.

Front

What is an example of Newton's 2nd Law?

Back

If you push a car and a bicycle with the same force, the bicycle will accelerate faster because it has less mass.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

What is the law of universal gravitation?

Back

Every mass attracts every other mass in the universe, and the force of attraction is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

Front

What is the role of gravity in motion?

Back

Gravity pulls objects toward the center of the Earth, affecting their motion and acceleration.

Front

What happens to an object in free fall?

Back

An object in free fall accelerates downward due to gravity, with no other forces acting on it.
