Newton's 3 Laws Review

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 Newton's Second Law of Motion?

Back

The acceleration of an object depends on the mass of the object and the amount of force applied. (F = ma)

Front

What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?

Back

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

Front

What is inertia?

Back

The tendency of an object to resist a change in its motion.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force (F) = mass (m) × acceleration (a)

Front

What happens to an object when a balanced force acts on it?

Back

It does not change its state of motion.

Front

What is an unbalanced force?

Back

A force that causes an object to accelerate or change its motion.

Front

Give an example of Newton's First Law of Motion.

Back

A book resting on a table will remain at rest until someone pushes it.

Front

How does mass affect acceleration according to Newton's Second Law?

Back

An object with more mass requires more force to achieve the same acceleration as a lighter object.

Front

What is the relationship between action and reaction forces?

Back

They are equal in size and opposite in direction.
