Newtons Laws of Motion

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 at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an outside force.

Front

What is the definition of force?

Back

A push or pull on an object.

Front

What does Newton's Second Law of Motion state?

Back

The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass (F=ma).

What is an example of Newton's Third Law of Motion?

Back

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

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

Back

More mass requires more force to achieve the same acceleration.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

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

Front

What is the relationship between action and reaction forces?

Back

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

Front

How can you calculate force using mass and acceleration?

Back

Force can be calculated using the formula F = ma, where F is force, m is mass, and a is acceleration.

Front

What happens to an object in motion when no net force acts on it?

Back

It continues to move at a constant velocity.

Front

What is an example of a situation where Newton's First Law applies?

Back

A soccer ball rolling on the ground eventually stops due to friction, which is an outside force.
