Newton's Laws And Application Of Newton's Laws Flashcards
Normal Force
The force or the component of force which a surface exerts on an object with which it is in contact, which is perpendicular to the surface
Frictional Force
Force that opposes the motion of an object and which acts parallel to the surface
Static Frictional Force
Force that opposes the tendency of motion of a stationary object relative to a surface
Kinetic Friction Force
The force that opposes the motion of a moving object relative to a surface
Newton’s First Law of Motion
A body will remain in a state of rest or motion at a constant velocity unless a net force acts on it
Newton’s Second Law of Motion
When a net force acts on an object, the object will accelerate in the direction of the force at an acceleration directly proportional to the force and inversely proportional to the mass of the object
Newton’s Third Law of Motion
When one body exerts a force on a second body, the second body exerts a force of equal magnitude in opposite direction on the first bofy
