dynamics and statics Flashcards
which one of newtons laws applies to statics
newtons first law
which one of newtons laws applies to dynamics
newtons second law
what is newtons first law
an object will stay at rest or continue to move at a constant speed in the same direction unless acted upon by a resultant force
what is newtons third law
if object A exerts a force on object B, object B exerts an equal and opposite force on object A
what is newtons second law
force = mass * acceleration (F=MA)
what are the main conditions for newtons third law
-has the same magnitude
-opposite directions
-same type of force
-on different objects
what are the key steps to finding a resultant force
resolve the vector using trigonometry
describe contact forces in terms of particles
when there are two contact forces each objects the electrons in the atoms are displaced which results in a force against the object.
