Newton’s Laws of Motion Quiz Review

East Haven Honors Integrated Science.

Newton's First Law

An object in motion stays in motion (or at rest) unless acted upon by an unbalanced force

Newton's First Law (another name)

Law of Inertia

Inertia

the tendency of an object to resist the change in motion.

property that determines how much inertia an object has

Mass

Newton's Second Law

Force has a relationship with mass and acceleration.

Newton's Second Law (another name)

Law of Acceleration

the equation for the Second Law : Force

Mass x Acceleration

the equation for the Second Law : Mass

Force / Acceleration

the equation for the Second Law : Acceleration

Force / Mass

Unit for force

Newtons (N)

Unit for mass

Kilograms (kg)

Unit for acceleration

meters per second squared (m/s^2)

Newtons Third Law

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Newtons Third Law (another name)

Law of Action Reaction

Friction

Resistance force when one object moves across another.

Static friction

Friction at rest

Sliding friction

Friction when one object slides across another

Rolling friction

Friction that includes wheels or something round to roll.

Fluid friction

Friction that involves air or liquids.

Factors for friction

Mass, Roughness of surface

Mass

The amount of matter in an object.

Net Force

The total amount of force on an object; sum of all forces that act upon an object

how to calculate net force if given more than one force.

Same direction- add forces together

DIfferent directions- subtract forces
