Newton's Law of Motion

Front

What is the term for an object's resistance to change in its state of motion?

Back

Inertia

Front

What is Newton's 1st Law of Motion also known as?

Back

The Law of Inertia

Front

State Newton's 1st Law of Motion.

Back

An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by an external force.

Front

What does Newton's 2nd Law of Motion state?

Back

The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass (F=ma).

How does friction affect motion according to Newton's Laws?

Back

Friction is a force that opposes motion, affecting the net force and thus the acceleration of an object.
