Q

what happens to an object not travvling in a straight line and an object moving in a circle

A

not traveling in straight line - speed is constant, velocity changes because direction changes
circle motion - constantly changing direction so velocity constant changes
accelerates caused by force of gravity

Q

What is newtons first law

A

an object will remain in the same state of motion unless acted on by external force
velocity will only change if there’s a resultant force acting on it
