Newton's Laws

Question 1

Newton’s First Law

Answer 1

a body in a state of motion or at rest will remain in that state unless acted upon (law of inertia)

Question 2

Newton’s Second Law

Answer 2

when a net force is applied to a body of mass m, the body will be accelerated in the same direction as the force applied to the mass (F=ma)

Question 3

Newton’s Third Law

Answer 3

if a body A exerts a force on body B then B will exert a force back onto A that is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction

Question 4

Newton’s Law of Gravitation

Answer 4

all forms of matter experience an attractive force to other forms of matter in the universe

Question 5

Uniform Circular Motion Force Equation

Answer 5

Fc = mv^2 / t

Question 6

Uniform Circular Motion Acceleration Equation

Answer 6

a = v^2 / r

Question 7

Equilibrium

Answer 7

an object is in translational equilibrium when the sum of forces pushing in one direction is counterbalanced by the sum of forces acting in the opposite direction
