Physics
What are the main topics within Physics that can be studied?
Newton's Laws of Motion
Electricity and Circuits
Waves and Sound
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 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?
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
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
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.
