Newton's Laws of Motion

Front

What is Newton's 1st Law of Motion?

Back

An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

Front

What is 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

What is Newton's 3rd Law of Motion?

Back

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

Front

What does inertia mean in the context of Newton's 1st Law?

Back

Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.

Front

How does mass affect acceleration according to Newton's 2nd Law?

Back

Greater mass results in less acceleration for the same amount of force applied.

Front

What is an example of Newton's 1st Law in everyday life?

Back

A book resting on a table will remain at rest until someone pushes it.

Front

What is an example of Newton's 2nd Law in action?

Back

A heavier vehicle requires more force to accelerate than a lighter vehicle.

Front

What is an example of Newton's 3rd Law in action?

Back

When you jump off a small boat, the boat moves backward as you move forward.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

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

Front

What is the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration?

Back

Force is the product of mass and acceleration; increasing either mass or acceleration increases the force.
