NEWTONS LAWS

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 with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced 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. (F = ma)

Front

What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?

Back

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

Front

What does mass measure in physics?

Back

Mass measures the amount of matter in an object, typically in kilograms.

Front

What does force measure in physics?

Back

Force measures the push or pull on an object, typically measured in Newtons (N).

Front

How does mass affect acceleration when a constant force is applied?

Back

Greater mass results in less acceleration when the same force is applied, according to Newton's Second Law.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

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

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

What is an example of Newton's First Law in everyday life?

Back

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

Front

What is an example of Newton's Second Law in action?

Back

A soccer ball will accelerate more when kicked harder (greater force) or will accelerate less if it is heavier (greater mass).
