Q

What is inertia?

A

inertia is the resistance of a body to change its state of motion.
- as soon as an object or body over come inertia it has momentum
- the bigger the mass the bigger the inertia

Q

what is Newtons second law?

- known as the law of acceleration
- Force = Mass x Acceleration

Q

what is Newtons third law ?

A

for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
- know as the law of reaction
- the most common application of this law is a persons body weight causing a ground reaction force.
