2.20-2.26 Newtons 3rd Law+Momentum Flashcards
Describe the speed of an object that is moving in a circular orbit
travelling at a constant velocity
What result force must be needed in order for an object to travel in a circle?
Centripetal force
In which direction does centripetal force act?
.Centre of the circle
What is inertial mass a measure of?
How difficult it is to change the velocity of an object
How is inertial mass defined?
Ratio of force over acceleration
What is Newton’s third law?
Every action force has an equal and opposite reaction force
Describe how Newton’s third law is used in collisions
If two objects collide the same force is exerted on both objects
Define momentum
.The tendency of an object to keep moving in the same direction
If two marbles collided when would the two marbles have momentum?
.They will both have momentum before and after the collision
