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 = 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 force?

Back

A push or pull on an object that can cause it to accelerate.

Front

What is mass?

Back

The amount of matter in an object, usually measured in kilograms.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

The rate of change of velocity of an object, measured in meters per second squared (m/s²).

Front

What is friction?

Back

The resistance that one surface or object encounters when moving over another.

Front

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

Back

It will maintain its current state of motion (either at rest or moving at a constant velocity).

Front

How does increasing force affect acceleration?

Back

Increasing the force applied to an object results in greater acceleration.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

The tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.
