Forces And Acceleration Flashcards
What does an object need to start moving
A force
If the resultant force on an object is zero, the object will…
Remain stationary
No resultant force means
No change in velocity
If there in no resultant force on a moving object it will…
Carry on moving at the same velocity
If you are going at a steady speed the resultant force must be
Zero
A resultant force means
Acceleration
If there is a non-zero resultant force…
The object will accelerate or deceleration in the direction of the force
Resultant force formula
F= ma
Reaction forces are
Equal and opposite
When two forces interact, the forces they exert on are
Equal and opposite
What will happen if you push something like a trolley
The trolley will push back onto you
