Newton's Laws of Motion

Front

What is the gravitational force exerted on an object?

Back

Weight

Front

What happens to the attraction between two objects when the distance between them increases?

Back

It decreases.

Front

What is the attractive force that exists between all objects that have mass?

Back

Gravity

Front

Which law states that acceleration equals net force divided by mass?

Back

Newton's Second Law

Front

What happens to a moving object if a net force acts on it in the direction of its motion?

Back

It speeds up.

Front

What is Newton's First 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 inertia?

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for calculating weight?

Back

Weight = mass × gravitational acceleration.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and weight?

Back

Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object's mass.

Front

What does Newton's Third Law of Motion state?

Back

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