Newton's Laws of Motion

Front

What is Newton's First Law of Motion?

Back

An object at rest tends to stay at rest unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

Front

What is Newton's Second Law of Motion?

Back

The net force of an object is its mass times its acceleration (F = m*a).

Front

What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?

Back

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

Front

Define Force.

Back

A push or pull on an object resulting from the object's interaction with another object.

Front

What is the formula to calculate force?

Back

F = m * a, where F is force, m is mass, and a is acceleration.

Front

What is the unit of force?

Back

Newton (N).

Front

What happens when two forces of equal magnitude act in opposite directions?

Back

They cancel each other out, resulting in no movement.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

How does mass affect inertia?

Back

The greater the mass of an object, the greater its inertia.

Front

What is gravitational force?

Back

The force of attraction between two objects due to their mass.
