Dynamics Flashcards
1
Q
Acceleration
A
Rate of change of velocity
2
Q
Newton’s First Law
A
An object will remain at rest or in a state of uniform motion unless it is acted on by a resultant force.
3
Q
Newton’s Second Law
A
The resultant force acting on an object is equal to the rate of change of momentum. The resultant force and the change in momentum are in the same direction.
4
Q
Newton’s Third Law
A
When two bodies interact, the forces they exert on each other are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction
