Newton's Laws of Motion

Front

An object at rest stays at rest or an object in motion stays in motion until unbalanced forces act upon it.

Back

Newton's First Law of Motion

Front

The tendency of a physical object to remain still or continue moving, unless force is applied.

Back

Inertia

Front

The state of an object when it is not in motion.

Back

at rest

Front

Forces on an object that cause change in the motion of the object.

Back

Unbalanced force

Front

Acceleration of an object depends on the object's mass and magnitude of the force acting upon it (F=ma).

Back

Newton's Second Law of Motion

Front

A push or pull that can change the motion of an object.

Back

force

Front

The size or quantity of something.

Back

Magnitude

Front

The rate of change in an object's speed.

Back

Acceleration

Front

Newton's law that states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Back

Newton's Third Law of Motion

Front

The way that something causes a change.
