Newton's Laws of Motion

Question 1

What is Newton’s First Law?

Answer 1

Newtons first law is: An object at rest remains at rest, and an object in motion remains in motion at constant speed and in a straight line unless acted on by an unbalanced force.

Question 2

What does Newton’s First Law mean?

Answer 2

It means that unless an object is acted on by a resultant force, it will stay at a constant speed/stationary.

Question 3

What is Newton’s Second Law?

Answer 3

The acceleration of an object depends on the mass of the object and the amount of force applied.

Question 4

What does Newton’s Second Law mean?

Answer 4

It is F=ma.

Question 5

What is Newton’s Third Law?

Answer 5

Whenever one object exerts a force on another object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite on the first.

Question 6

What does Newton’s Third Law mean?

Answer 6

If you push/throw something in one direction, it will push you in the other direction with the same amount of force.
