Newtons Laws Flashcardizz

Front

What is Newton's 1st Law of Motion?

Back

Law of Inertia: 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 2nd Law of Motion?

Back

Law of Force and Acceleration: 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

Law of Action/Reaction: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Front

What does inertia refer to?

Back

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

Front

Give an example of Newton's 3rd Law of Motion.

Back

A jellyfish swimming by pushing water in one direction and moving in the opposite direction.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object.

Front

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

Back

According to Newton's 2nd Law, force equals mass times acceleration (F=ma).

Front

What is an example of an object in motion that demonstrates inertia?

Back

A soccer ball that remains at rest until kicked.

Front

What happens to a car that rounds a curve at a constant speed?

Back

It is accelerating because its direction is changing, even if its speed is constant.

Front

What is the effect of a net external force on an object at rest?

Back

It can cause the object to move.
