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 is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. (F = ma)

Front

What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?

Back

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

Front

What does the term 'force' mean in physics?

Back

A force is a push or pull on an object that can cause it to accelerate.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

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

Back

As mass increases, acceleration decreases if the force remains 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

How does Newton's Third Law apply to walking?

Back

When you push down on the ground with your foot, the ground pushes you up with an equal and opposite force.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force (F) = mass (m) × acceleration (a)

Front

What is the significance of the net force?

Back

The net force is the total force acting on an object, determining its acceleration.
