Newtons Laws Of Motion Flashcards
1
Q
What does Newton’s second law say
A
Acceleration is proportional to the force
Resultant force=ma
2
Q
What did Galileo say
A
All objects fall at the same rate (if you ignore air resistance)
3
Q
What did newtons 3rd law say
A
Each force had an equal, opposite reaction force
Swimmer pushes back water, water pushes you forward with equal but opposite sized forces
(Not book on table. Both acting on book, not same type, two separate interactions) resulting 0 acceleration, showing newtons 1st law
4
Q
What does Newton’s first law say
A
A (resultant) force is needed to change velocity (accelerate-change in direction or speed)
