Forces And Acceleration Flashcards
What will happen if there is no result want force on a moving object?
It will continue to move at the same velocity
What happens when an object has a resultant force which isn’t 0?
It will accelerate in the direction of the force
What will happen to a stationary object if it has a resultant force of 0?
It will remain stationary
What five different forms can acceleration take?
- starting
- stopping
- speeding up
- slowing down
- changing direction
What is the equation linking force, mass and acceleration?
Force = mass x acceleration
What unit is acceleration measured in?
M/s(^2)
When do reaction forces occur?
When two objects interact
How strong are reaction forces?
Equal to each other but in the opposite direction
What happens to the forces between two objects when they react?
The forces they exert in each other are equal and opposite
