Newton's Laws and Application of Newton's Laws Flashcards
weight Fg
the gravitational force the Earth exerts on any
object on or near its surface
normal force FN
the perpendicular force exerted by a
surface on an object in contact with it
frictional force due to a surface Ff
the force that
opposes the motion of an object and acts parallel to the surface
with which the object is in contact
Newton’s first law
An object continues in a state of rest or uniform (moving with constant) velocity unless it is acted upon by a net or resultant force
inertia
the property of an object that causes it to resist a change in its state of rest or uniform motion
Newton’s second law
When a net force, Fnet, is applied to an object of mass, m, it accelerates in the direction of the net force. The acceleration, a, is directly proportional to the net force and inversely proportional to the mass
Newton’s third law
When object A exerts a force on object B, object B simultaneously exerts an oppositely directed force of equal magnitude on object A
Rough, Rest and constant velocity/speed and a random tip respectively
Friction, velocity is = 0 and acceleration are = 0 it is better to use Fg’s components when addressing a force question
When asked for the distance what formulas can I use
fg=ma then Vf^2=vi^2+ 2ax
or
Wnet=Fnetxcosx
About the words dropped
The initial velocity of an object drop = initial velocity of the object not in free fall(only acted on by gravity) and always shows direction
