Newton's first law of motion/law of inertia Flashcards
It is the tendancy of an object to stay at rest and or when an object resists to have a change in motion to remain in it’s position or continue doing what it’s doing
intertia
the more mass an object has, the _____ (more/less) intertia it has
(More) intertia
It is the amount of matter an object has. This is calculated using the measurement of kilograms.
The mass of an object stays constant no matter where it is
Mass
this is the force exerted on an object depending on where they are. The calculation of this may change depending on where they are/depending on the gravity present
Weight
what is the formula for getting the weight of an object?
W = mg
Weight = mass of the object x acceleration of gravity
What is the base gravity acceleration on the earth?
9.8m/s^2
what does Newton’s first law of motion/law of intertia state?
“An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.”
