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 unless acted upon by a net external force.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

What is Newton's Second Law of Motion?

Back

The acceleration of an object depends on the mass of the object and the amount of force applied, expressed as F = M x A.

Front

What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?

Back

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

Front

What is friction?

Back

Friction is a force that opposes the motion of an object.

Front

How does mass affect acceleration?

Back

The greater the mass of an object, the less acceleration it will have for the same amount of force applied.

Front

What is an example of Newton's First Law?

Back

A soccer ball will not move until someone kicks it.

Front

What happens to a rolling ball when it hits grass?

Back

The ball slows down due to friction between the ball and the grass.

Front

What is an example of Newton's Second Law?

Back

If you push a light object and a heavy object with the same force, the light object will accelerate more.

Front

What is an example of Newton's Third Law?

Back

When you jump off a small boat, the boat moves backward as you move forward.
