Newtons Laws

Front

What is Newton's First Law of Motion?

Back

An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

Front

What is the Law of Inertia?

Back

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

Front

What type of forces cause a change in an object's motion?

Back

Unbalanced forces.

Front

What is the formula for Newton's Second Law of Motion?

Back

F = ma (Force equals mass times acceleration).

Front

If a 20 kg bike accelerates at 10 m/s², what is the force applied?

Back

200 Newtons.

Front

What is the net force when 8 N is applied to the left and 4 N to the right?

Back

4 N to the left (unbalanced force).

Front

What does Newton's Third Law state?

Back

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

Front

What is an example of inertia in everyday life?

Back

A passenger lurching forward in a car when it suddenly stops.

Front

What happens to an object in motion if no net force acts on it?

Back

It continues to move at a constant velocity.

Front

What is the difference between balanced and unbalanced forces?

Back

Balanced forces do not change an object's motion; unbalanced forces do.
