Mod. 2 Review Newton's Laws of Motion

Front

What does a graph representing constant velocity look like?

Back

A straight line with a constant slope, indicating that the object is moving at a steady speed without acceleration.

Front

What does a graph representing negative acceleration look like?

Back

A curve that slopes downwards, indicating that the object is slowing down over time.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration occurs when an object changes its velocity, which includes speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction.

Front

What is Newton's 2nd Law of Motion?

Back

Force = Mass multiplied by Acceleration (F = ma). This law states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass.

Front

What does a graph showing constant speed indicate?

Back

The object is moving at a steady pace without speeding up or slowing down.

Front

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

Back

The greater the mass of an object, the more force is required to accelerate it.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion. An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by a net external force.

Front

What is the formula for calculating acceleration?

Back

Acceleration = (Final Velocity - Initial Velocity) / Time.

Front

What is the significance of a flat line on a distance-time graph?

Back

A flat line indicates that the object is at rest and not moving.

Front

What does a steep slope on a distance-time graph indicate?

Back

A steep slope indicates a high speed, meaning the object is covering a large distance in a short amount of time.
