Newton's Laws of motion

Front

What is Newton's 1st Law of Motion?

Back

An object in motion stays in motion, and an object at rest stays at rest unless acted upon by an external force.

Front

What is Newton's 2nd Law of Motion?

Back

Force equals mass multiplied by acceleration (F = ma).

Front

What is Newton's 3rd Law of Motion?

Back

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

Front

What does inertia mean in the context of Newton's 1st Law?

Back

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

Front

How does mass affect acceleration according to Newton's 2nd Law?

Back

Greater mass results in less acceleration for the same amount of force applied.

Front

Give an example of Newton's 1st Law in everyday life.

Back

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

Front

Give an example of Newton's 2nd Law in everyday life.

Back

It takes more force to push a car than to push a bicycle.

Front

Give an example of Newton's 3rd Law in everyday life.

Back

When you jump off a small boat, the boat moves backward as you move forward.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force (F) = Mass (m) x Acceleration (a).

Front

What happens to an object in motion if no external forces act on it?

Back

It will continue moving at a constant velocity.
