6.5.4.2.1 newton’s first law Flashcards
1
Q
Newton’s first law states that if the resultant force acting on an object is zero and :
The object is stationary, the object remains..?
The object is moving, the object continues .. and in the same direction. So the object continues to move at the same velocity,
A
It remains stationary.
the object continues moving at the same speed and in the same direction.
2
Q
When a vehicle travels at a steady speed the resistive forces are what to the driving force?
A
Balanced, equal etc.
3
Q
The velocity (speed and/or direction) of an object will only change if..
A
a resultant force is acting on the object.
4
Q
What is inertia
A
the tendency of objects to continue in their state of rest or of uniform motion.
