Newtons 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 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)

What is the formula for calculating acceleration?

Back

Acceleration = (Final Velocity - Initial Velocity) / Time.

Front

What is friction?

Back

A force that opposes the motion of an object.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and weight?

Back

Weight is the force of gravity acting on an object's mass (Weight = mass × gravitational acceleration).

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

What is the effect of increasing mass on gravitational force?

Back
