Newtons Laws Flashcards
1
Q
Newton’s First Law
A
An object continues in a state of rest or uniform (moving with constant) velocity unless it is acted upon by a net or resultant force
2
Q
Inertia
A
The property of an object that causes it to resist a change in its state of rest or uniform motion
3
Q
Newton’s Second Law
A
When a net force, Fnet, is applied to
an object of mass, m, it accelerates in the direction of the net force. The acceleration, a, is directly proportional to the net force and inversely proportional to the mass
4
Q
Newton’s Third Law
A
When object A exerts a force on object
B, object B simultaneously exerts an oppositely directed force of equal magnitude on object A
