Newton Flashcards
1
Q
Definition of Newton 2
A
When a net force acts on an object, the object will accelerate in the direction of the force.
The acceleration is directly proportional to the force and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

Q
What’s the formula for Fnet
A
Fnet = ma
3
Q
What’s the formula for acceleration
A
a = Fnet/m
4
Q
Define Newton 2 in terms of momentum
A
The net force exerted on a body is equal to the rate of change in the body’s momentum
5
Q
Newton I
A
A body will remain at rest or continue at a constant velocity, unless an unbalanced/net force acts on it.

Q
Newton iii
A
When object A exerts a force on object B, object B SIMULTANEOUSLY exerts an oppositely directed force of equal magnitude on object A.
