Newton's laws
1
Q
State Newton’s first law of motion
A
A body will remain in its state of rest or motion at constant velocity unless a non-zero resultant/net force acts on it
2
Q
State Newton’s second law of motion
A
When a resultant/net force acts on an object, the object will accelerate in the direction of the force at an acceleration directly proportional to the force and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.
3
Q
State Newton’s third law of motion
A
When one body exerts a force on a second body , the second body exerts a force of equal magnitude in the opposite direction on the first body .
