physics chap 2 Flashcards
define balance force
the resultant of all force acting on a body is 0
define unbalanceforcese
if the resultant of all force acting on a body is not 0
newtons first law of motion
an object remains in the state of rest or of uniform motion on a straight line unless compelled to change the state by an unbalanced force
define inertia
it is the natural tendency of a body to resist change in its state of motion or rest
define momentum
momentum is defined as the product of its mass and velocity
newtons second law of motion
it states that the rate of change of momentum of an object is proportional to the applied unbalanced force in the direction of force
newtons third law of motion
for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction
law of conservation of momentum
the total momentum of a system is conserved before and after the collision
