Newton's Laws of Motion

Front

What is inertia?

Back

The resistance of any physical object to any change in its state of motion.

Front

In Newton's Second Law equation, what does the 'm' stand for?

Back

mass.

Front

Which law of motion is also known as the Law of Inertia?

Back

First Law.

Front

In Newton's Second Law equation, what does the 'F' stand for?

Back

force.

Front

Newton's Third Law says that forces must always occur in _____?

Back

pairs.

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 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.

Front

What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?

Back

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

Front

What is the formula for calculating force in Newton's Second Law?

Back

F = m * a (Force = mass x acceleration).

Front

What does 'a' represent in Newton's Second Law?

Back

acceleration.
