Front

What is friction?

Back

A force that opposes the motion of an object.

Front

What is Newton's first law of motion?

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 Newton's second law of motion?

Back

The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass (F=ma).
