Back

Unbalanced Forces

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 does inertia depend on?

Back

The mass of an object.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force = Mass x Acceleration (F = ma)

Front

What is the relationship between mass and acceleration according to Newton's Second Law?

Back

Acceleration is inversely proportional to mass when force is constant.

Front

What are balanced forces?

Back

Forces that are equal in size and opposite in direction, resulting in no change in motion.
