Newtons Laws of Motion

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 with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

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 the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force (F) = mass (m) × acceleration (a).

Front

What is friction?

Back

Friction is the force that opposes the motion of an object when it is in contact with another surface.

Front

How does surface roughness affect friction?

Back

Rougher surfaces have greater friction compared to smoother surfaces.

Front

What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?

Back

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

Front

What is the relationship between mass and force required to move an object?

Back

More force is needed to move objects of larger mass.

Front

What is the effect of gravity on objects in motion?

Back

Gravity pulls objects towards the center of the Earth, affecting their motion.

Front

What happens to a resting object due to inertia?

Back

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