Newtons Laws of Motion Review Game

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 with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced 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. (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 gravity?

Back

The force that attracts two bodies towards each other, commonly experienced as the force that pulls objects towards the Earth.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

The rate of change of velocity of an object with respect to time.

Front

What is the difference between mass and weight?

Back

Mass is the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force exerted by gravity on that mass.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

The tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.

Front

What is air resistance?

Back

A type of friction that acts against the motion of an object moving through air.

Front

How does mass affect acceleration?

Back

According to Newton's second law, as mass increases, acceleration decreases for a given force.

Front

What happens to the motion of an object when a net force is applied?

Back

The object will accelerate in the direction of the net force.
