Newtons Laws Flashcards
1
Q

A
The force all the components of a force which surface exerts on an object with which it is in contact and which is perpendicular to the surface
2
Q
Newtons first law
A
An object continues in a state of rest or uniform velocity unless acted upon by a resultant force
3
Q
Newton second law

When a resultant or net force acts on an object the object will accelerate in the direction of the force and acceleration is directly proportional to the force and inversely proportional to the mass of the object
4
