Newton's Laws of Motion

Front

How many Laws of Motion are there?

Back

There are 3 Laws of Motion.

Front

What force pulls a ball back to the ground after it is thrown up?

Back

The force that pulls the ball back to the ground is gravitational force.

Front

What is another name for the first law of motion?

Back

The first law of motion is also known as the Law of Inertia.

Front

What force pulls snowflakes toward the ground?

Back

Snowflakes are pulled toward the ground by gravity.

Front

What does the second law of motion state about acceleration?

Back

The acceleration of an object depends on the mass of the object and the amount of force applied.

Front

What is the first law of motion?

Back

An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by a net external force.

Front

What is the second law of motion?

Back

The second law of motion states that Force = Mass x Acceleration (F = ma).

Front

What is the third law of motion?

Back

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

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

What is gravitational force?

Back

Gravitational force is the force that attracts two bodies toward each other, such as the Earth pulling objects toward its center.
