Q

Newton’s second law

A

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

Q

Rough, Rest and constant velocity/speed and a random tip respectively

A

Friction, velocity is = 0 and acceleration are = 0 it is better to use Fg’s components when addressing a force question

Q

About the words dropped

A

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
