Newton's Laws of Motion

Front

What is the unit of mass?

Back

kg

Front

If the net force acting on an object is 0, what is the force considered to be?

Back

Balanced

Front

What does a position vs. time graph showing an object that is accelerating indicate?

Back

The object is speeding up.

Front

A rocket pushes burning gases DOWN which causes the rocket to launch UP. Which law is this?

Back

Law 3 (Action-Reaction)

Front

What type of relationship do force and acceleration have?

Back

A direct relationship.

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 a net external force.

Front

What is Newton's Second 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

What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force (F) = mass (m) × acceleration (a).

Front

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

Back

It continues to move at a constant velocity.
