Newtons Laws of Motion

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 velocity unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

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

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.

Front

What is the unit of force?

Back

The unit of force is the Newton (N).

Front

What does an unbalanced force do to an object?

Back

An unbalanced force causes an object to accelerate.

Front

What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?

Back

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

Front

How does mass affect acceleration when a constant force is applied?

Back

As mass increases, acceleration decreases if the force remains constant.

Front

What is the relationship between force and acceleration?

Back

Force is directly proportional to acceleration; as force increases, acceleration increases.

Front

What happens to a moving object when no net force acts on it?

Back

It continues to move at a constant velocity.
