A
A body will remain at rest or continue in a straight line at a constant speed as long as the forces acting on it are balanced
2
Q
What is Newton’s second law?
A
When a resultant force acts on a mass, then there will be a change in its velocity
3
Q
What is the equation for acceleration?
A
Acceleration = force / mass
4
Q
What is inertial mass?
A
How difficult it is to change the velocity of a moving object
5
Q
What is Newton’s third law?
A
Relates to bodies equilibrium and can be applied to collisions when considering the conservation of momentum
