newton's laws (P2.2) Flashcards
1
Q
Inertia
A
the measure of how difficult it is to change an object’s velocity
2
Q
Newton’s first law
A
An object will remain stationary or at constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force
3
Q
Newton’s second law
A
The force acting on an object is equal to its rate of change in momentum
4
Q
Newton’s second law (E)
A
F=ma
Acceleration that resultant force produces depends on size of resultant force and mass (inertia) of the object
