Newton's laws

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 the formula for calculating acceleration?

Back

Acceleration = (Final Velocity - Initial Velocity) / Time.

Front

What is the definition of weight?

Back

Weight is the measure of the gravitational force acting on an object, typically measured in newtons.

Front

What is the difference between mass and weight?

Back

Mass is the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force exerted by gravity on that mass.

Front

What does the term 'inertia' refer to?

Back

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

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

How do you calculate the average acceleration of an object?

Back

Average acceleration = (Change in velocity) / (Time taken).

Front

What is the unit of acceleration?

Back

The unit of acceleration is meters per second squared (m/s²).

Front

What is the definition of volume?

Back

Volume is the amount of space an object occupies, typically measured in cubic units.
