Newtons Laws And Applications Flashcards
Inertia
Concept within the first law
The resistance of an object to its state of motion
Newtons First law
“An object at rest tends to stay at rest, while an object in motion tends to continue in a constant direction, unless acted upon by an external force”
Newton’s Second Law
“All matter attracts all other matter in the universe with a force that is both proportional to the product of each object’s mass and inversely proportional to the squared distance between the two”
F=G(m1*m2)/r^2
Gravitational Force (on Earth)
F=9.81*m
Newton’s Third Law
“For every force on an object, that object generates a force of equal magnitude both in the direction of the initial force and in the opposite direction”
Normal force
The force that results from an initial force but on a surface
Universal Gravitational constant
G=6.67x10^-11
Gravitational potential on earth
P=9.81(height)
Gravitational energy on earth
U=m*9.81(height)
Earth’s gravitational acceleration
9.81 m/s^2
Gravitational acceleration in proximity to earth
9.81 m/s^2
