THREE LAWS OF MOTION Flashcards
developed the laws of motion to provide conceptual and mathematical foundations for the interaction of objects on Earth and beyond.
Sir Isaac Newton
developed the central theme of these
laws is how forces affect the state of
motion of any object
Sir Isaac Newton
what are the 3 laws of motion
law of inertia
law of acceleration
law of interaction
“ an object at rest will remain at rest, an
object in motion continues in motion with the
same speed and the same direction unless
acted upon by an unbalanced force.
”
law of inertia
When two equal
forces act in
opposite directions,
they cancel out
each other. Hence,
the object doesn’t
move
balanced forces
“blank is produced when a force
acts on a mass. The greater the mass (of
the object being accelerated) the greater
the amount of force needed (to
accelerate the object).’’
law of acceleration
blank forces acting on an object results net force and cause a change in the object’s motion
unbalanced forces
“in every action, there is an equal and
opposite reaction.”
law of interaction
In other words, in any interaction, action and
reaction forces are always of equal strength
but towards opposite direction.”
