Identify Newton's Law of Motion

Front

What is Newton's 1st Law of Motion?

Back

The Law of Inertia: 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 does Newton's 2nd Law of Motion state?

Back

F = ma: The force acting on an object is equal to the mass of that object multiplied by its acceleration.

Front

What is Newton's 3rd Law of Motion?

Back

Law of Force Pairs: 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

Give an example of Newton's 1st Law of Motion.

Back

A book resting on a table will remain at rest until someone pushes it.

Front

Give an example of Newton's 2nd Law of Motion.

Back

If you push a car and a bicycle with the same force, the bicycle will accelerate more because it has less mass.

Front

Give an example of Newton's 3rd Law of Motion.

Back

When a swimmer pushes the water backwards, the water pushes the swimmer forward.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force (F) = Mass (m) x Acceleration (a)

Front

What is the relationship between mass and acceleration in Newton's 2nd Law?

Back

As mass increases, acceleration decreases if the same force is applied.

Front

What is an external force?

Back

An external force is any force that comes from outside an object and can change its motion.
