Newton's Laws Of Motion Flashcards
1
Q
Newton’s first law
A
Balanced forces
When the resultant force on an object is 0, the object is either stationary or moving at constant speed
2
Q
Newton’s second law
A
Unbalanced forces
When the resultant force is greater than 0, the object accelerates. It could speed up, slow down or change direction
3
Q
Newton’s third law
A
Equal and opposite forces
When two objects interact, the forces are equal and in an opposite direction
4
Q
Force = ?
A
Force = Mass X Acceleration
5
Q
Inertia
A
When objects continue in the same state of motion
6
Q
Inertial mass
A
How difficult it is the change the velocity of an object
Inertial mass = Force / Acceleration
