Newton's Laws of Motion

Cards (12)

  • Newton's first law of motion is also known as?

    Law of Inertia
  • More mass = 

    More force
  • More force =
    More acceleration
  • What is inertia?
    an object's resistance to a change in it's velocity
  • Inertia is caused because objects have mass
  • First Law of motion is?
    An object at rest stays at rest unless acted upon by an unbalanced force
  • Unit for force?
    neuton
  • Force = 

    ma (mass x acceleration)
  • Mass =

    f/a (force divided by acceleration)
  • Acceleration =
    f/m (force divided by mass)
  • Second law of motion?
    force equals mass times acceleration
  • Third law of motion?
    for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction
