39
Q

equations for acceleration? x2

A

acceleration(m/s^2) = change in velocity(m/s) / time taken(s)

42
Q

what eventually happens to an object falling through a fluid?

A

43
Q

What is newtons first law of motion for a stationary object?

A

If the resultant force acting on an stationary object is 0, then the object remains stationary

44
Q

What is newtons first law of motion for a moving object?

A

If the resultant force acting on a moving object is 0, then the object will continue moving in the same direction at the same speed

45
Q

What is newtons second law of motion?

A

The acceleration of an object is proportional to the resultant force acting on the object, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

46
Q

Equation for resultant force?
