Newtons laws

Front

What is Newton's First Law of Motion?

Back

An object at rest will remain at rest, and an object in motion will remain in motion at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force.

Front

What does Newton's Second Law of Motion state?

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

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

How does mass affect acceleration according to Newton's Second Law?

Back

As mass increases, acceleration decreases for the same amount of force applied.

Front

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

Back

A soccer ball remains stationary until a player kicks it.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

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

Front

How does Newton's Third Law apply to walking?

Back

When you push down on the ground with your foot, the ground pushes you up with an equal and opposite force.

Front

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

Back

Force is the product of mass and acceleration; more force results in greater acceleration.

Front

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

Back

It continues to move at a constant velocity.
