Name that Newton's Law

Front

What is Newton's 1st 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 Newton's 2nd 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 3rd Law of Motion?

Back

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

Front

What does inertia mean in the context of Newton's 1st Law?

Back

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

Front

Can you give an example of Newton's 1st Law?

Back

A soccer ball will not move until a player kicks it.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force in Newton's 2nd Law?

Back

Force (F) = mass (m) × acceleration (a)

Front

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

Back

As mass increases, acceleration decreases if the same force is applied.

Front

What is an example of Newton's 3rd Law in action?

Back

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

Front

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

Back

Force is the product of mass and acceleration; more force results in greater acceleration.

Front

How does friction relate to Newton's 1st Law?

Back

Friction is an unbalanced force that can cause an object in motion to slow down or stop.
