Newton's Laws and Momentum

Front

What is the combination of all the forces acting on an object?

Back

Net force

Front

What is the formula to calculate force?

Back

Force = Mass x Acceleration

Front

What is the acceleration due to gravity near Earth's surface?

Back

9.8 m/s²

Front

What is a force?

Back

Any push or pull on an object.

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 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.

Front

What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?

Back

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

Front

What is momentum?

Back

The product of an object's mass and its velocity.

Front

How does air resistance affect falling objects?

Back

Air resistance opposes the motion of objects falling through the air, affecting their acceleration and speed.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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