Chap 4 and 5 Flashcards
1
Q
Newton’s first law
A
statement
- velocity is constant, and so acceleration is zero.
2
Q
Inertia
A
The natural tendency of an object to remain at rest or in motion at a constant velocity.
As a result of inertial, we have newton’s first law. When an object is accelerating is no longer in its natural state
3
Q
Newton’s 3rd law implications
A
- when action and reaction act on separate objects, each object accelerates separately.
- If on the same system, the forces are internal forces and they cancel each other out.
