Newton's Laws of Motion

Front

strong nuclear force

Back

It holds the protons and neutrons in the nucleus of the atom and overcomes the repulsion between the protons.

Front

Newton's 1st Law of Motion

Back

The law of inertia. The greater the mass, the greater the inertia.

Front

force

Back

A push or pull exerted on an object.

Front

acceleration

Back

The rate of change in velocity over time.

Front

Newton

Back

The unit of force that equals 1kg x m/sec^2.

Front

Newton's 2nd Law of Motion

Back

The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass (F=ma).

Front

Newton's 3rd Law of Motion

Back

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

Front

inertia

Back

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

Front

mass

Back

The amount of matter in an object, typically measured in kilograms.

Front

velocity

Back

The speed of an object in a specific direction.
