Back

The Law of Inertia

If a baseball player hits a ball with 400 N of force, how much force does the ball exert on the bat?

Back

400 N

Front

What does Newton's Second Law state?

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 the relationship between unbalanced forces and motion?

Back

An object will move in the direction of the larger unbalanced force.

Front

What is Newton's Third Law?

Back

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

Describe an example of Newton's First Law in everyday life.

Back

A magician pulls a tablecloth out from under dishes without moving them.

Front

What happens to a skateboarder who hits a rock while not paying attention?

Back

The skateboard stops, but the person continues moving forward due to inertia.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

How does mass affect inertia?

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

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