Newton's Laws of Motion Quiz

Newton's Laws of Motion

• Sir Isaac Newton formulated the three laws of motion.

First Law (Law of Inertia)

• Inertia refers to an object's tendency to resist changes in its motion, remaining at rest or continuing to move with a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force.

Second Law (Force and Acceleration)

• The second law describes the relationship between an object's mass, acceleration, and the applied force.
• Force (F) is equal to the mass (m) of an object multiplied by its acceleration (a), i.e., F = ma.

Third Law (Action and Reaction)

• The action-reaction pair associated with Newton's third law of motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
• When object A exerts a force on object B, object B simultaneously exerts an equal and opposite force on object A.
