Newtons Laws

Front

What is Newton's First Law of Motion?

Back

An object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion will stay in motion at a constant velocity 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

How does mass affect acceleration?

Back

The more mass an object has, the more force it takes to accelerate it.

Front

What is an unbalanced force?

Back

An unbalanced force is a force that causes an object to change its motion.

Front

What is a balanced force?

Back

Balanced forces are equal in size and opposite in direction, resulting in no change in motion.

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).

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object.

Front

How do you calculate acceleration?

Back

Acceleration can be calculated using the formula: (final velocity - initial velocity) / time.

Front

What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?

Back

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

Front

What role does friction play in motion?

Back

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