Newtons Laws

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 an unbalanced force.

Front

What is the definition of mass?

Back

Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, typically measured in kilograms.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and acceleration according to Newton's Second Law?

Back

The greater the mass of an object, the more force is required to accelerate it (F = ma).

Front

What is an unbalanced force?

Back

An unbalanced force is a force that causes an object to change its state of motion.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object, typically measured in meters per second squared (m/s²).

Front

What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?

Back

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

Front

How do you calculate acceleration?

Back

Acceleration can be calculated using the formula: a = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time.

Front

What is the unit of force?

Back

The unit of force is the Newton (N).

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

What is the effect of friction on motion?

Back

Friction is a force that opposes motion, causing objects to slow down or stop.
