Newton's First and Second Laws Flashcards
1
Q
What does Newton’s First Law say?
A
A resultant force is needed to make something start moving, speed up or slow down.
2
Q
What if the resultant force on a stationary object is 0?
A
The object will remain stationary.
3
Q
What if the resultant on a moving object is 0?
A
It will just carry out on moving at the same velocity.
4
Q
What does Newton’s Second Law say?
A
If a Non-zero Resultant Force acts on an object, then it will cause the object to accelerate.
5
Q
The larger the resultant force acting on an object… ?
A
The more the object accelerates - force and acceleration are directly proportional.
6
Q
What is the formula which describes Newton’s second law?
A
F = M*A
