What is Newton's First Law of Motion?

Back

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

What is another name for Newton's First Law?

Back

Law of Inertia.

Front

If an object is moving at a set speed and in a set direction, it will remain at that same ____

Back

velocity.

Front

What happens to an object in motion if no external force acts on it?

Back

It continues to move at the same speed and in the same direction.

Front

What happens to an object at rest if no external force acts on it?

Back

It remains at rest.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

Can you give an example of Newton's First Law?

Back

A soccer ball will not move until a player kicks it.

Front

What does it mean for an object to be in equilibrium?

Back

The net force acting on the object is zero, so it remains at rest or moves at a constant velocity.

Front

How does mass affect inertia?

Back

The greater the mass of an object, the greater its inertia, making it harder to change its state of motion.

Front

What is a net external force?

Back

The overall force acting on an object when all individual forces are combined.
