Q

The property of the body to remain at rest and to continue moving with constant velocity when in motion.

A

Inertia

17
Q

A measure of its inertia. the greater the mass the greater the inertia or the resistance to change in motion.

A

Mass of the body

18
Q

If a net force or unbalanced force acts on the body, the body will accelerate; the magnitude of the acceleration is directly proportional to the mass of the body. The direction of the acceleration is the same as the direction of the net force.

A

Law of acceleration

19
Q

When an object exerts a force on another object the second object exerts on the first a force of the same magnitude but at opposite direction.
“For every action there is an equal but opposite reaction”.

A

Law of Action and reaction
