Newton's Laws of Motion

Front

An object in motion stops when...

Back

it is acted upon by an outside force.

Front

As more unbalanced force is applied to an object, its acceleration:

Back

increases.

Front

What is Newton's First Law known as?

Back

The Law of Inertia.

Front

Newton's third law of motion states that for every action there is:

Back

an opposite, but equal reaction.

Front

____ force is needed to move objects of larger mass.

Back

more.

Front

What does Newton's Second Law state?

Back

Force equals mass times acceleration (F=ma).

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

What is an unbalanced force?

Back

A force that causes an object to accelerate.

Front

What happens to an object at rest when no net force acts on it?

Back

It remains at rest.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and acceleration?

Back

As mass increases, acceleration decreases for a constant force.
