Newtons laws

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 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).

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 according to Newton's Second Law?

Back

As mass increases, acceleration decreases if the same force is applied.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

What is the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration?

Back

Force equals mass times acceleration (F=ma).

Front

What happens to a swimmer's motion when they push backward against the water?

Back

They move forward due to the reaction force from the water.

Front

What is an example of Newton's Third Law in everyday life?

Back

When you jump off a small boat, you push the boat backward as you move forward.

Front

What is the significance of the net force in Newton's Second Law?

Back

The net force determines the acceleration of an object.

Front

How does friction affect motion according to Newton's laws?

Back

Friction opposes motion and can affect the net force acting on an object.
