Force, acceleration and newtons laws of motion Flashcards
1
Q
What does Newtons first law state ?
A
If the resultant force acting on a stationary object is zero the object remains stationary.
If the resultant force acting a moving object is zero the object will continue to move at a constant speed.
Resultant force causes an objects speed to change

Q
What does Newtons second law state ?
A
The force acting on an object is equal to the mass of that object x its acceleration. F = M X A
