Back

Acceleration

Front

Newton's 1st Law of Motion is also known as the Law of ________.

Back

Inertia

Front

True or False? If friction didn’t exist, an object in motion would stay in motion forever.

Back

True

Front

What is Newton's 1st 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 does Newton's 2nd Law of Motion state?

Back

The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass.

Front

What is the formula for Newton's 2nd Law?

Back

Force = Mass x Acceleration (F = ma)

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

What is an example of an unbalanced force?

Back

A soccer ball being kicked is an example of an unbalanced force.
