Q

Newton’s 1st Law: The Law of Inertia

A
  • Objects at rest remain at rest
  • Objects in motion continue in that motion
  • Only an external, unbalance force can change motion
  • The force can be any kind
  • Balanced forces leave an object’s motion unchanged.
  • An object acted on by unbalanced forces changes speed, direction, or both.
17
Q

Newton’s 1st Law: The Law of Inertia

A
  • We cannot measure inertia directly
  • We measure it indirectly by measuring the mass of the object
  • If not net force acts on an object, the object is at equilibrium
