Newton's Laws

Front

What does Newton's first law of motion state?

Back

An object in motion will remain in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

Front

What is required to move an object with greater mass?

Back

A greater applied force is required.

Front

What is the formula for calculating net force?

Back

Net force is the total force acting on an object, calculated by adding all the forces together.

Front

What is a force?

Back

A force is a push or pull on an object.

Front

What causes acceleration according to Newton's laws?

Back

Acceleration is caused by a force acting on a mass.

Front

What is Newton's second law of motion?

Back

It states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass.

Front

What unit is used to measure force?

Back

Newton (N) is the unit used to measure force.

Front

What happens to an object at rest according to Newton's first law?

Back

An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

Front

What is momentum?

Back

Momentum is the product of an object's mass and its velocity.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and acceleration?

Back

As mass increases, acceleration decreases if the same force is applied.
