Newton's Laws
Terms Dealing with Newton's Laws of Motion
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is Inertia | The tendency of an object to resist a change in motion. |
| Rest | A state of not being in motion or inactivity. |
| Motion | An instance of changing place. |
| Force | A push or pull |
| Gravity | The force of attraction between any two objects. |
| Friction | The force that resists relative motion between two bodies in contact. |
| Speed | A rate that measures how much time it takes an object to move a certain distance. |
| Distance | The amount of separation between two points. |
| Time | The measured period during which an action, process, or condition exists or continues. |
| Rate | The measurement for how much time it take to perform a task. |
| Velocity | Measures the measures the rate of change of position. |
| Position | A place or location. |
| Acceleration | Measures the rate of change in velocity. |
| Newton’s Second Law of Motion | The force needed to change the motion of an object depends on the mass of the object and the amount of acceleration wanted. |
| F = M x A | Newton’s Second Law of Motion may also be explained, as a mathematical equation. |
| F = | Force |
| A = | Acceleration |
| M = | Mass |
| Mass | An objects amount of matter. |
| V = | Velocity |
| T = | Time |
| R = | Rate or Speed |

| Newton's First Law of Motion | An objects ability to resist a change in motion. Objects in motion will remain in motion until an unbalance force acts on it. An object in motion will remain in motion unless an unbalanced force acts on it. |
| Newton's Thrid Law of Motion | For every action force there is an equal and opposite reaction force. |
| Action Force | A force in one direction that causes an equal but opposite recation force. |
| Reaction Force | A force in one direction caused by an equal action force but in the opposite direction. |
