SCIENCE- NEWTONS LAWS

Front

What is a balanced force?

Back

Forces that cancel each other out and produce no acceleration.

Front

What is necessary for there to be a non-zero net force?

Back

Non-zero net acceleration.

Front

What does Newton's 3rd law state?

Back

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

Front

When is friction used?

Back

When pressing on a car’s brakes.

Front

How is momentum related to Newton’s first law?

Back

True, momentum is related to Newton’s first law.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

The tendency of an object to remain at rest or in uniform motion unless acted upon by an external force.

Front

What is net force?

Back

The overall force acting on an object when all the individual forces are combined.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

The rate of change of velocity of an object.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force = mass x acceleration (F = ma).

Front

What is friction?

Back

A force that opposes the motion of an object.
