Newton’s Third Law of Motion
when body A exerts a force on body B, body B will exert an oppositely directed force of the same type of equal magnitude on body A
Newton’s First Law of Motion
an object continues to be in a state of rest or in motion with a constant velocity, unless acted upon by a net external force
Linear momentum
product of its mass and its velocity
Newton’s Second Law of Motion
the rate of change of momentum (effect) of a body is directly proportional to the resultant force (cause) acting on it and takes place in the direction of the resultant force
Impulse of a force
the product of the average force and the time interval during which the force acts
Principle of Conservation of Linear Momentum
the total linear momentum of a system remains constant provided that no resultant external force acts on the isolated system
