What is Newton's 1st Law of Motion?

Back

An object in motion will stay in motion and an object at rest will stay at rest unless acted upon by an outside force.

Front

What is Newton's 2nd 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 Newton's 3rd Law of Motion?

Back

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

Front

What is the definition of mass?

Back

Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, typically measured in kilograms.

Front

What is the definition of weight?

Back

Weight is the force exerted by gravity on an object, calculated as the mass of the object multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity (W=mg).

Front

What is gravity?

Back

Gravity is the attractive force that exists between all objects that have mass.

Front

How does mass affect acceleration according to Newton's 2nd Law?

Back

A larger mass requires a greater force to achieve the same acceleration as a smaller mass.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

Can you give an example of Newton's 1st Law?

Back

A soccer ball will not move until a player kicks it.

Front

Can you give an example of Newton's 2nd Law?

Back

If you push a car and a bicycle with the same force, the bicycle will accelerate more because it has less mass.
