Newtons Laws

Front

What type of force(s) will cause a change in an object's motion?

Back

Unbalanced forces cause a change in an object's motion.

Front

What are the appropriate units to describe acceleration?

Back

The appropriate units to describe acceleration are m/s².

Front

What is Newton's First Law known as?

Back

Newton's First Law is known as the Law of Inertia.

Front

With unbalanced forces, the object will move in the direction that the _______ force is being applied.

Back

The object will move in the direction that the larger force is being applied.

Front

What unit do we measure force in?

Back

Force is measured in Newtons.

Front

What is Newton's Second Law of Motion?

Back

Newton's Second Law states that Force equals mass times acceleration (F = ma).

Front

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

Back

In Newton's Second Law, as mass increases, acceleration decreases if the force is constant.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

What happens to an object at rest when no unbalanced forces act on it?

Back

An object at rest will remain at rest if no unbalanced forces act on it.

Front

What happens to an object in motion when no unbalanced forces act on it?

Back

An object in motion will continue moving at a constant velocity if no unbalanced forces act on it.
