Newton's 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 the formula for calculating Force?

Back

Force (F) = Mass (m) × Acceleration (a) or F = m × a.

Front

What is the unit of Force?

Back

The unit of Force is Newton (N).

Front

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

Back

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

Front

What does Newton's Third Law of Motion state?

Back

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

Front

What is the unit of measurement for Mass?

Back

The unit of measurement for Mass is kilograms (kg).

Front

What is Acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object with respect to time.

Front

What are the units for Acceleration?

Back

The units for Acceleration are meters per second squared (m/s²).

Front

If a 10 kg object is accelerating at 5 m/s², what is the net force acting on it?

Back

50 Newtons (F = m × a = 10 kg × 5 m/s²).

Front

What is the effect of unbalanced forces on an object?

Back

Unbalanced forces cause an object to accelerate in the direction of the net force.
