What is Newton's 1st Law?

Back

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

What is Newton's 2nd Law?

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 does inertia mean in the context of Newton's Laws?

Back

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

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

Back

As mass increases, acceleration decreases if the same force is applied.

How does Newton's 2nd Law explain why a soccer ball accelerates more than a bowling ball when thrown with the same force?

Back

The soccer ball has less mass than the bowling ball, resulting in greater acceleration.

What is the significance of the net force in Newton's 2nd Law?

Back

The net force is the total force acting on an object, determining its acceleration.
