Front

What force prevents a ball rolling on the ground from continuing on its path forever?

Back

Friction.

Front

State Newton's First Law.

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 was Newton's first name?

Back

Isaac.

Front

What does Newton's Third Law of Motion state?

Back

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

Front

Define inertia.

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for Newton's Second Law of Motion?

Back

F = ma (Force equals mass times acceleration).

Front

What is the relationship between mass and inertia?

Back

The greater the mass of an object, the greater its inertia.

Front

What is friction?

Back

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

Front

Give an example of Newton's First Law in everyday life.

Back
