Science Module 4 Physics Flashcards
1
Q
What is Newton’s First Law of Motion?
A
Newton’s first law states that every object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change its state by the action of an external force.
2
Q
What is Newton’s Second Law of Motion?
A
Newton’s second law states that the acceleration of an object is directly related to the net force and inversely related to its mass. (F=MA)
3
Q
What is Newton’s Third Law of Motion?
A
Newton’s third law simply states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
3
Q
What is Inertia?
A
a force opposite in direction to an accelerating force acting on a body and equal to the product of the accelerating force and the mass of the body.
