1
Q

First Law: Inertia

A

Every body continues in its state of rest and motion in a straight line, unless compelled to change by external forces exerted upon it

Q

Second Law: acceleration

A

The rate of change of momentum of a body is proportional to the force causing it and the change that takes place in the direction in which the force acts

Mass is constant
Force governs direction
Greater force = greater acceleration
GRF (Ground reaction force) 
Force = Mass x Acceleration

Q

Vector quantities

A

Weight: mass x gravity
Velocity: displacement/time taken
Acceleration: change in velocity/time
Change in velocity: final velocity - initial velocity
Displacement: straight line joint my the start and finish points
Momentum: mass in motion/ momentum = mass x velocity
