Newton's Laws of Motion

Front

What is a push or pull called?

Back

Force

Front

How many laws of motion did Newton propose?

Back

Three

Front

What is the formula for Newton's Second Law of Motion?

Back

F = m x a

Front

What does Newton's First Law of Motion state?

Back

An object in motion will stay in motion, and an object at rest will stay at rest unless acted upon by a net external force.

Front

What is the standard unit of force?

Back

Newton

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

What does Newton's Third Law of Motion state?

Back

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

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object.

Front

What is mass?

Back

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

Front

What is the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration?

Back

Force is equal to mass times acceleration (F = m x a).
