Front

What is the net force?

Back

The net force is the overall force acting on an object when all the individual forces are combined. In this case, it is 4000 N left.

What is Newton's First Law known as?

Back

Newton's First Law is known as the Law of Inertia.

Front

According to Newton’s first law of motion, a moving object that is not acted on by an unbalanced force will:

Back

A magician pulls a tablecloth out from under dishes and glasses on a table without disturbing them. This demonstrates:

Back

Newton's 1st Law.

Front

Define inertia.

Back

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

Front

What happens to an object at rest according to Newton's First Law?

Back

An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

Front

What is an unbalanced force?

Back

An unbalanced force is a force that causes an object to change its state of motion.

Front

Give an example of inertia in everyday life.

Back

A passenger lurches forward in a car when it suddenly stops, demonstrating inertia.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and inertia?

Back

The greater the mass of an object, the greater its inertia.
