Q

What is Newtons first law?

A

Law of Inertia.

17
Q

What is Inertia?

A

the tendency of an object ro resist a change in motion.

18
Q

What factor affects Inertia?

A

Mass

19
Q

What does Newtons first law state?

A

an
object at rest will remain at rest and an
object moving at a constant velocity will
continue moving at a constant velocity,
unless it is acted upon by an unbalanced
force. Gravity and friction are unbalanced
forces.

20
Q

What is Newtons second law?

A

acceleration

21
Q

What is acceleration?

A

The speed increasing or decreasing or direction changing

22
Q

What is terminal velocity?

A

maximum velocity of a free falling object occurs when the force of air resistance equals the weight of the object.

23
Q

What does Newtons second law state?

A

acceleration
depends on the object’s mass and the force
acting on the object.

24
Q

What is Newtons 3rd law?

A

Law of motion

25
Q

What is the pair in motion?

A

Action/reaction

26
Q

What does Newtons 3rd law state?

A

for every
action there is an equal but opposite reaction.

27
Q

What is Momentum?

A

A measure or quantity of motion

28
Q

What is the law of conservation of momentum?

A

for every
action there is an equal but opposite reaction.

29
Q

What is the formula for motion?

A

F = m x a
