Physics First Review - Newton's Laws

Front

What is Newton's First Law known as?

Back

The Law of Inertia.

Front

What does Newton's First Law of Motion state?

Back

An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted on by another force.

Front

What is the formula for Newton's Second Law?

Back

F = m x a (Force equals mass times acceleration).

Front

What does Newton's Second Law explain about force and acceleration?

Back

The acceleration produced by a net force on an object is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

Front

What happens to a ball thrown in a moving plane?

Back

The ball falls back into the child's hand due to the plane's motion.

Front

What is the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration according to Newton's Second Law?

Back

Force is equal to mass times acceleration.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

What does Newton's Third Law state?

Back

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

Front

How does mass affect the force required to change an object's motion?

Back

A greater mass requires a greater force to change its motion.

Front

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

Back

A seatbelt keeps you in place during a sudden stop in a car.
