Newtons Laws

Front

What is Newton's First Law?

Back

An object in motion will stay in motion and an object at rest will stay at rest unless acted upon by an outside force.

Front

What is Newton's Second Law?

Back

The force acting on an object is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by its acceleration.

Front

How do you find the net force when two forces are acting in the same direction?

Back

Add the forces together.

Front

What does Newton's Third Law state?

Back

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

Front

If a baseball player hits a ball with 400 N of force, how much force does the ball exert on the bat?

Back

400 N.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force = Mass x Acceleration (F = m * a).

Front

What is the relationship between mass and acceleration in Newton's Second Law?

Back

As mass increases, acceleration decreases if the force is constant.

Front

What is an example of Newton's First Law in everyday life?

Back

A book resting on a table will remain at rest until someone pushes it.

Front

What happens to the net force when two forces of equal magnitude act in opposite directions?

Back

The net force is zero.
