newtons 3 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' refer to in physics?

Back

Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, typically measured in kilograms.

Front

What does 'force' mean in the context of Newton's laws?

Back

A force is a push or pull on an object that can cause it to accelerate, measured in newtons (N).

Front

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

Back

Increasing mass decreases acceleration if the force applied remains constant.

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

If you push a shopping cart, it accelerates faster if it is empty than if it is full.

Front

What is an example of Newton's Third Law?

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) × acceleration (a).
