Front

Which law explains a rocket's movements during launch?

Back

Newton's 3rd Law.

Front

What force causes an object to slow down when it touches another object?

Back

Friction.

Front

What is Newton's 2nd Law of Motion?

Back

Force = Mass x Acceleration.

Front

What is Newton's 3rd Law of Motion?

Back

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

Front

Define inertia 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

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force = Mass x Acceleration.

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.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

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

Back

Force is directly proportional to mass and acceleration.
