Newton's Laws Flashcards
1
Q
Newton’s First Law
A
An object either moving at a constant velocity or at rest will remain in that state unless an external resultant force is applied to it.
2
Q
Newton’s Second Law
A
The rate of change of momentum is equal to the resultant force acting upon the object. F = delta P over t
3
Q
Newton’s Third Law
A
If object A exerts a force on object B, object B will exert an equal and opposite force on object A, both forces will be of the same type, and will work along the same line.
4
Q
MOST IMPORTANT YET OBVIOUS ONE
A
F = ma, force = mass * acceleration
5
Q
Newton’s Law of Gravitation
A
Fgrav = -GMm/r^2
