Newton's Laws of Motion

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 with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced 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 = ma)

Front

What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?

Back

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

Front

What does the term 'inertia' mean?

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force = Mass x Acceleration (F = ma)

Front

Who formulated the laws of motion?

Back

Sir Isaac Newton.

Front

What happens to a skateboarder who is not paying attention and hits a rock?

Back

The skateboard stops, but the skateboarder continues moving forward due to inertia.

Front

What is an example of Newton's First Law in everyday life?

Back

A coffee cup spills when a car stops suddenly because the coffee continues moving forward.

Front

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

Back

As mass increases, acceleration decreases if the force remains constant.

Front

What is an example of Newton's Third Law?

Back

When you push against a wall, the wall pushes back with equal force.
