Newtons Laws of Motion

Front

What is Newton's 1st Law of Motion?

Back

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

Front

What is Newton's 2nd Law of Motion?

Back

The acceleration of an object depends on the mass of the object and the amount of force applied. (F=ma)

Front

What is Newton's 3rd 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 friction?

Back

Friction is a force that opposes the motion of an object.

Front

What is gravity?

Back

Gravity is the force that pulls objects toward each other, such as the Earth pulling us down.

Front

How does mass affect motion?

Back

The more mass an object has, the more force is needed to change its motion.

Front

What happens to a ball rolling on the ground?

Back

It eventually stops due to friction.

Front

What is an example of Newton's 1st Law?

Back

A passenger in a car continues to move forward when the car suddenly stops.

Front

What is an example of Newton's 2nd Law?

Back

It is easier to push a small toy car than a large truck because the truck has more mass.
