    • Forces and Energy
    • Thermal Physics
    • Optics and Light
    • Atomic Structure
    • Magnetism
  • What is Newton's First Law of Motion also known as?
    Law of Inertia
  • What does Newton's First Law of Motion state?
    An object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force.
  • What happens to objects at rest according to Newton's First Law?
    They tend to stay at rest.
  • What happens to objects in motion according to Newton's First Law?
    They tend to stay in motion.
  • What is an example of Newton's First Law of Motion?

    A book on a table remains stationary until you apply a force to move it.
  • If a football is rolling across a smooth, flat field, what will happen if no external forces act on it according to Newton's First Law?
    It will continue rolling at a constant velocity.
  • What does Newton's Second Law of Motion relate to?
    It relates force, mass, and acceleration.
  • What is the mathematical expression for Newton's Second Law of Motion?
    F=F =ma m \cdot a
  • In the equation F=F =ma m \cdot a, what does F represent?

    Net force (measured in Newtons, N)
  • In the equation F=F =ma m \cdot a, what does m represent?

    Mass of the object (measured in kilograms, kg)
  • In the equation F=F =ma m \cdot a, what does a represent?

    Acceleration (measured in meters per second squared, m/s²)
  • If a force of 10 N is applied to a 2 kg object, what is the object's acceleration?
    5 m/s25 \text{ m/s}^2
  • What does Newton's Third Law of Motion state?
    For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
  • What are the key points of Newton's Third Law of Motion?
    • Forces always occur in pairs
    • Action and reaction forces are equal in magnitude
    • Action and reaction forces act on different objects
    • These forces act in opposite directions
  • What is an example of Newton's Third Law of Motion?

    When you jump off a boat, you push the boat backwards as you move forwards.
  • In the context of a rocket launch, how does Newton's Third Law apply?
    The rocket expels gases downward, creating an equal upward force on the rocket.
  • How can Newton's Laws of Motion be observed in everyday situations?
    1. First Law (Inertia):
    • A passenger in a car lurches forward when the car suddenly stops
    • Objects on a table slide when a tablecloth is quickly pulled away

    1. Second Law (F = ma):
    • A heavier object requires more force to accelerate at the same rate as a lighter object
    • A car with a more powerful engine can accelerate faster than one with a less powerful engine

    1. Third Law (Action-Reaction):
    • A person walking pushes against the ground, and the ground pushes back
    • Recoil felt when firing a gun
  • Why does a skydiver stop accelerating after reaching terminal velocity?

    Because the net force acting on them is zero, balancing gravity and air resistance.
  • Which of Newton's Laws explains why a skydiver continues moving at a constant velocity when they reach terminal velocity?
    First Law of Motion (Law of Inertia)
  • What happens to the net force on a skydiver when they reach terminal velocity?
    The net force becomes zero.
  • What does the First Law of Motion imply about an object in motion with no net force acting on it?
    It will continue moving at a constant velocity.
  • How do the concepts of force, mass, and acceleration interrelate in Newton's Second Law?
    Acceleration is directly proportional to net force and inversely proportional to mass.
