NEWTONS LAWS

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 with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

Front

What is Newton's Second Law of Motion?

Back

The acceleration of an object depends on the mass of the object and the amount of force applied. It can be expressed with the formula F = ma (Force = mass x acceleration).

Front

What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?

Back

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

Front

Why do heavier objects require more force to move?

Back

Heavier objects have more mass, which means they require more force to achieve the same acceleration as lighter objects.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

How does mass affect acceleration according to Newton's Second Law?

Back

As mass increases, acceleration decreases if the same amount of force is applied.

Front

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

Back

When you jump off a small boat, you push the boat backward as you move forward.

Front

What role does friction play in Newton's First Law?

Back

Friction is an unbalanced force that can cause a moving object to slow down or stop.

Front

How does a rocket launch demonstrate Newton's Third Law?

Back

The rocket pushes exhaust gases downward, and in response, the rocket is pushed upward.

Front

What is the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration?

Back

Force is directly proportional to the mass of an object and its acceleration (F = ma).
