Newton's Laws of Motion

Front

What are force, mass, and acceleration related to?

Back

Newton's second law of motion.

Front

Which law explains why it is more difficult to move a dresser full of clothes than an empty dresser?

Back

Law 2.

Front

What does Newton's 3rd Law state?

Back

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

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

The rate of change of velocity.

Front

What happens to acceleration when mass increases?

Back

Acceleration decreases.

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 a net external force.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force = mass × acceleration.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

How does mass affect the motion of an object?

Back

More mass means more force is needed to change its motion.

Front

What is the relationship between force and acceleration?

Back

They are directly proportional; as force increases, acceleration increases.
