Newtons Laws of Motion

Front

What is Newton's 1st Law of Motion?

Back

The Law of Inertia: An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by an outside force.

Front

What is Newton's 2nd Law of Motion?

Back

The Law of Force and Acceleration: The acceleration of an object depends on the mass of the object and the amount of force applied. Formula: Force = Mass x Acceleration.

What happens to an object in motion when no external force acts on it?

Back

It continues to move at a constant velocity.

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

Back

A soccer ball will not move until a player kicks it.
