Newton's Laws of Motion

Front

What is Newton's First Law known as?

Back

Inertia

Front

If a 40 kg student is pushed in a rolling chair with a force of 30 N, what is the student's acceleration?

Back

0.75 m/s²

Front

Which best explains the law of force and acceleration (Newton's 2nd Law of Motion)?

Back

A larger force will be required to accelerate a roller coaster with more people.

Front

According to Newton's second law, if you increase the force applied to an object:

Back

it accelerates more.

Front

What law of motion does this picture represent? (Image of action-reaction forces)

Back

Newton's 3rd law.

Front

Define 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 Newton's Second Law of Motion?

Back

F = ma (Force equals mass times acceleration).

Front

What does Newton's Third Law of Motion state?

Back

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

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

How does mass affect inertia?

Back

The greater the mass of an object, the greater its inertia.
