Newton's Laws

Front

What is Newton's First Law of Motion?

Back

Objects in motion stay in motion/Objects at rest stay at rest until an outside force acts on it

Front

What is Newton's Second Law of Motion?

Back

A force is required to accelerate an object with a known mass

Front

What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?

Back

Every action has an equal and opposite reaction

Back

Newton's First Law

Front

The law of inertia states that a body in motion will remain in motion and a body at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon by a(n) ________________ force.

Back

unbalanced

Which is the best example of Newton's First Law of Motion? Options: a basketball thrown in the air falls to the ground, a soccer ball remains motionless until it is kicked by a player, a baseball player swings at an approaching ball, an ice skater pushes back from a wall and moves backwards

Back

a soccer ball remains motionless until it is kicked by a player

Front

If you double the mass of an object with the same force applied on it, the acceleration will: double, cut in half, the same, zero

Back

cut in half
