6th Grade Newtons Laws of Motion

Front

What is a PUSH or PULL of an object?

Back

Force

Front

What does Newton's 1st Law of Motion state?

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 does Newton's 2nd Law of Motion explain?

Back

The relationship between force, mass, and acceleration (F=ma).

Front

What does Newton's 3rd Law of Motion state?

Back

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

Front

What is friction?

Back

A force that opposes the motion of an object.

Front

What is the unit of force?

Back

Newton (N).

Front

How does mass affect the force needed to move an object?

Back

More mass requires more force to accelerate.

Front

What is the effect of balanced forces on an object?

Back

The object remains at rest or continues to move at a constant velocity.

Front

What happens when unbalanced forces act on an object?

Back

The object accelerates in the direction of the net force.

Front

What is gravitational force?

Back

The force of attraction between two masses.
