Q

Newton’s second law

A

Force = mass x acceleration

When an unbalanced force is applied to an object it causes it to accelerate.

The greater the force that is applied the increase of the acceleration

The lesser the force that is applied the decrease of the acceleration

If the same force is applied to an object with a large mass it will have a decrease in acceleration

If the same force is applied to an object with a small mass it will have a increase in acceleration

Q

Newton’s third law

A

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction

Every time there is an upward force that is equal size and acts in the opposite direction

Forces must always act in pairs

Q

Force

A

A physical quantity you deal with everyday. It is a push or pull exerted by one object on another. The pull or push may come from direct contact or, in the case of gravity, electricity and magnetism from a distance

Q

Energy’s

A

Energy cannot be created or destroyed but can be transformed from kinetic to potential vis versa.

Top = 0 kinetic and 100 potential

Bottom = 100 kinetic and 0 potential
