Newtons Laws of Motion

Front

What is Newton's 1st Law of Motion?

Back

An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by an external force.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

What does the equation F = M x A represent?

Back

This equation represents Newton's 2nd Law of Motion, where F is force, M is mass, and A is acceleration.

Front

What is Newton's 2nd Law of Motion?

Back

The acceleration of an object depends on the mass of the object and the amount of force applied.

Front

What is Newton's 3rd Law of Motion?

Back

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

Front

Give an example of Newton's 1st Law in action.

Back

A magician pulls a tablecloth from under dishes without moving them.

Front

How does mass affect force according to Newton's 2nd Law?

Back

More mass means more force is needed to accelerate the object.

Front

What happens to an object in motion if no forces act on it?

Back

It continues to move at a constant speed in a straight line.

Front

What is an example of Newton's 3rd Law?

Back

When you jump off a small boat, the boat moves backward.

Front

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

Back

Force equals mass times acceleration (F = M x A).
