Newton's Laws Of Motion (QUIZ) Flashcards
The characteristic of the action and reaction forces in Newton’s Third Law, indicating they have the same strength.
Equal Magnitude
The imaginary force experienced in a non-inertial reference frame, such as the sensation of being pushed backward in an accelerating car.
Fictitious Force
- This law states that “if a net external force acts on an object, acceleration occurs—the direction of which is similar to that of the net external force.”
Newton’s Second Law of Motion
A pair of forces that consists of the action and reaction forces in an interaction according to Newton’s Third Law.
Action-Reaction Pair
The property of an object that causes it to resist changes to its state of motion or rest.
Inertia
The name given to Newton’s First Law, which describes an object’s tendency to maintain its state of motion or rest.
Law of Inertia
This refers to change in velocity. When the net external force (or the combination of individual forces exerted on an object) is not zero, it occurs.
Acceleration
The scientist who conducted experiments with balls and inclined planes to develop the concept of inertia.
Galileo Galilei
The force that object B applies on object A in response to the action force according to Newton’s Third Law.
Reaction Force
It is the SI unit of mass
