Newton’s Law Flashcards
What is the International Unit for Acceleration?
Metre per second squared
What is Acceleration?
The rate of change of the velocity of an object with respect to time.
If Acceleration has magnitude and direction what does that make it?
A Vector quantity
What is Inertia?
The resistance of any physical object to any change in velocity.
What changes does Inertia include?
- The objects speed
- Direction
- Motion
What is Inertia mostly affected by?
The gravity and the effects of friction and air resistance.
Newton’s First Law?
Newton’s First Law of Motion
What is Newton’s First Law?
[Description]
When an object at rest, stays at rest & an object in motion continues with a constant speed and direction, unless acted upon by an unbalanced, external force.
Newton’s Second Law?
Newton’s Second Law of Momentum
What is Newton’s Second Law of Momentum?
[Description]
Newton’s Second Law of Momentum is the acceleration of an object produced by a net force.
What is the formula to figure out the Force required?
F = M x A
Newton’s Third Law?
Newton’s Third Law of Reaction
What is Newton’s Third Law of Reaction?
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
