forces Flashcards
1
Q
newton first law of motion
A
every object will continue in its state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line unless a resultant force acts on it
2
Q
newton second law of motion
A
when a resultant force acts on an object of a constant mass, the object will accelerate in the direction of the resultant force. the product of the mass and the acceleration of the object gives the resultant force.
F=ma

Q
newton third law of motion
A
if body A exerts force Fab on body B, body B will exert an equal and opposite force Fba on body A
4
Q
friction
A
constant force that opposes or tends to oppose the motion between surfaces in contact
