Newton' 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 inertia?

Back

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

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

How does a ball bounce when it hits the ground?

Back

The ball exerts a force on the ground, and the ground exerts an equal and opposite force on the ball, causing it to bounce.

Front

What happens when a swimmer pushes backward in the water?

Back

The swimmer moves forward due to the reaction force from the water.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

F = ma (Force equals mass times acceleration).

Front

What is 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 an example of Newton's Second Law in action?

Back

A heavier object requires more force to accelerate than a lighter object.

Front

What is an example of Newton's Third Law in action?

Back

When you jump off a small boat, you push the boat backward as you move forward.
