Newton's Laws of Motion Review

Front

What is Newton's Second Law of Motion?

Back

Force = Mass × Acceleration

Front

How do you calculate mass according to Newton's Second Law?

Back

Mass = Force ÷ Acceleration

Front

What is a force?

Back

A push or pull on an object.

Front

What does Newton's First Law state?

Back

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 the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration?

Back

Force is directly proportional to mass and acceleration.

Front

What is an example of Newton's Third Law of Motion?

Back

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

Front

What happens when a bowling ball strikes a bowling pin?

Back

The force applied by the pin to the ball is equal to the force applied by the ball.

Front

What is the unit of force?

Back

Newton (N)

Front

What does acceleration depend on according to Newton's Second Law?

Back

Acceleration depends on the net force acting on an object and its mass.
