Newtons laws of motion Flashcards
What is newton’s second law
the accelertaion of an object is proportional to the resultant force acting on an object and inversely proportional to the mass of each object .
experessed as
resultant corce = mass a
f=ma
what is newtons first law
an object will stay stationary or continue moving at the same speed and direction unless a resultant force is applied .
how do u work out inrtia
force/acceleration
tendency for an object to stay at rest or in uniform motion
how to calculate wieght
weight =mg
what is a force
a force is a push or pull that acts on an object because of its interactio ith another object.
what can forces do
forces can hage the shape
motion
or state of rest
describe motion of diver enetring water
as diver enters wate , they diver will decelerate as air resistance in water is greater than in the air , Upwardds force on diver m so upwards resultant force .
what is newtons third law
when two object interact with eachother they exert equal and opposite forces on eachother .
example of contact force
gravity
example of noncontact
air resistance
menng of proportional
bigger force means more accelerationin
inversely proprotional
bigger mss ,less accelration
what is reusltant foce at constant vvelocity
zero - as all oher forces acting on object are zero
what does braing force depend on
spead of the vehicle as breaks are applied
mass of the vehicle
equation trinagle for thinking ditance
thinking distance
speed *reaction time
