Newton's Laws Of Motion

Cards (5)

  • Newton's First Law

    An object will not change its motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. (An object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion unless another force is acting upon it.)
  • Newton's Third Law

    For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. (Forces always exist in pairs)
  • Newton's Second Law

    The force acting on an object is equal to the mass of that object multiplied by its acceleration. (Force = Mass * Acceleration)
  • Inertia
    A property of matter by which it continues in its existing state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line, unless that state is changed by an external force(Newton’s 1st law). The larger the mass, the larger the inertia, and the smaller the mass, the smaller the inertia
  • Forces come in pairs
    You cannot exert a force on an object without it exerting a force on you
