4th=-8th Grade -Newton's Laws

Front

What is Newton's 1st Law of Motion?

Back

An object in motion (or at rest) will stay in motion (or at rest) until an outside force acts upon it.

Front

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

Back

Force = Mass x Acceleration.

Front

What is the definition of net force?

Back

The combination of all the forces acting on an object.

Front

What is Newton's 3rd Law of Motion?

Back

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

Front

What are balanced forces?

Back

When two equal forces act in opposite directions on an object.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

The tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.

Front

How does mass affect acceleration according to Newton's 2nd Law?

Back

As mass increases, acceleration decreases for a given force.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force = Mass x Acceleration.

Front

What is an unbalanced force?

Back

When the forces acting on an object are not equal, causing the object to accelerate.

Front

What is the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration?

Back

Force is directly proportional to mass and acceleration.
