newton's laws of motion Flashcards
1
Q
law one- law of inertia
A
things keep moving or stay at rest, unless a net force acts upon them
2
Q
law two- F = MA
A
force causes acceleration, while mass resists acceleration
3
Q
law three- law of equal and opposite forces
A
for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
4
Q
inertia
A
ability of an object to resist change of motion
5
Q
force
A
- a force is any push or pull
- newtons (N) are used to measure force
6
Q
net force
A
- sum of all the forces
- has direction
7
Q
mass
A
the amount of matter in an object
8
