Apply Newton's Laws of Motion

Front

What is Newton's First Law of Motion?

Back

An object at rest will remain at rest, and an object in motion will continue in motion at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

Front

What is another name for Newton's First Law of Motion?

Back

The law of inertia.

Front

What does Newton's Second Law of Motion state?

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 Third Law of Motion?

Back

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

Front

Give an example of Newton's First Law of Motion in everyday life.

Back

A soccer ball remains motionless until it is kicked by a player.

Front

What happens to an object if no net force acts on it?

Back

It will maintain its state of motion, either at rest or moving at a constant speed.

Front

How does increasing the force applied to an object affect its acceleration?

Back

It increases the acceleration of the object.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

What is an unbalanced force?

Back

An unbalanced force is a force that causes an object to accelerate, change direction, or change shape.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force according to Newton's Second Law?

Back

F = ma, where F is force, m is mass, and a is acceleration.
