Newtons Laws of Motion

Front

What is gravity?

Back

A force that attracts objects with mass towards each other.

Front

How many Laws of Motion did Isaac Newton create?

Back

3

Front

What is velocity?

Back

The speed and direction of an object.

Front

What does Newton's first Law of Motion state about an object at rest?

Back

An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon by an external force.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and force in Newton's second Law of Motion?

Back

The greater the mass of an object, the greater the amount of force needed to accelerate it.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

The tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

The rate of change of velocity of an object.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

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

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

Speed is the distance traveled per unit of time, while velocity includes direction.

Front

What is an example of Newton's third Law of Motion?

Back

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