Unit 6: Newton's 3 Laws

Front

What does Newton's First Law state?

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

Define inertia in the context of Newton's laws.

Back

Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion, directly related to its mass.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force according to Newton's Second Law?

Back

Force = Mass x Acceleration.

Front

Explain Newton's Third Law of Motion.

Back

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

Front

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

Back

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

Front

How does mass affect inertia?

Back

The greater the mass of an object, the greater its inertia, meaning it will be harder to change its motion.

Front

What happens to the forces when two objects collide according to Newton's Third Law?

Back

The forces exerted by the two objects on each other are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.

Front

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

Back

A book resting on a table will remain at rest until someone pushes it.

Front

What is the significance of the net force in Newton's Second Law?

Back

The net force is the total force acting on an object, determining its acceleration.

Front

How can you demonstrate Newton's Third Law with a balloon?

Back

When air rushes out of a balloon, the balloon moves in the opposite direction.
