Physics Flashcards
What is net force
TOTAL of all forces involved
Only have magnitude NO DIRECTION
Scalar quantity
Both magnitude AND direction
Vector quantity
How far something has travelled regardless of direction
Distance
Distance with a direction from it’s starting point to the end
Displacement
An object will stay at rest or in motion unless acted upon an UNBALANCED force
Newton’s First Law
The tendency of an object to resist any change in it’s motion
Inertia
If an object experiences an unbalanced force it will accelerate in the direction of the net force
Newton’s Second Law
For every action force there is an equal and opposite reaction force
Newton’s 3rd Law
The rate at which velocity changes
Acceleration
