Q

What is Newton’s second law of motion

A

When a net external force acts on an object of mass, the resulting acceleration is directly proportional to the net force and the magnitude is inversely proportional to the mass

Direction of a = direction of net force

Q

What is Newton’s third law of motion

A

For every action (force) there is an equal but opposite reaction

16
Q

What is significant about the action and reaction forces in Newton’s third law

A

Their magnitudes are ALWAYS equal

17
Q

Are the accelerations of the action and reaction forces always equal?

A

No bc each force could act on a different object containing a different mass

18
Q

Force component perpendicular to the surface

A

Normal force

19
Q

Force parallel to the surface

A

Frictional force

20
Q

Which force is greater? Static or kinetic?

A

Static

21
Q

are horizontal and vertical forces dependent on each other?

A

No!

22
Q

The state at which an object has no acceleration

A

Equilibrium

23
Q

What is newtons law of universal gravitation

A

Every particle in the universe exerts an attractive force on every other particle
