GHS Newton's Three Laws of Motion

Front

What is Newton's Second Law of Motion?

Back

Newton's Second Law states that the force acting on an object is equal to the mass of that object multiplied by its acceleration (F = m × a).

Front

What is the formula for Newton's Second Law?

Back

Force = Mass X Acceleration.

Front

What is friction?

Back

Friction is the rubbing force that acts against motion between two touching surfaces.

Front

What does Newton's Third Law state?

Back

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

Front

What happens when forces acting on an object are unbalanced?

Back

The object will accelerate.

Front

What is Newton's First Law of Motion known as?

Back

The Law of Inertia.

Front

Define 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 in Newton's Second Law?

Back

As mass increases, acceleration decreases if the force remains constant.

Front

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

Back

When you push against a wall, the wall pushes back with equal force.

Front

What is the unit of force in the International System of Units (SI)?

Back

The unit of force is the Newton (N).
