What is Friction?

Back

A force that opposes the motion of an object, caused by the contact between two surfaces.

Front

What is Acceleration?

Back

The rate at which an object changes its velocity, can be positive (speeding up) or negative (slowing down).

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 at a constant speed and in a straight line unless acted upon by a net external 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).
