Kinematics: Newton's Laws of Motion Quiz
Quiz Overview
Description
Sir Isaac Newton developed three laws of motion that govern classical physics. The laws are as follows:
1. An object in motion stays in motion unless acted on by an outside force. This same rule applies to objects at rest. This is called the Law of Inertia.
2. Acceleration comes from when a force acts on an object with mass. The heavier the mass, the more force that is required to move it. This law is represented with the following formula: F = ma (force equals mass times acceleration).
3. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Whenever an object pushes against another object, the second object pushes against the first with the same amount of force.
