Three Laws of Motion Flashcards
It is the viewpoint of the observer of motion
Inertial Reference Frame
In IRF, it is said that a land speed is relative to the surface of the Earth. Therefore, the standard inertial reference frame is?
Earth
What are the three laws of motion?
Law of inertia, law of acceleration, and law of interaction (action - reaction)
It states that an object at rest will remain at rest and an object in motion will remain in motion unless there is a force acting upon it
Law of inertia
It stated that a body is directly proportional to the force exerted on the body in the same direction
Law of acceleration
What is the formula for acceleration?
F=ma
Measure of a body’s inertial property
Mass
Measure of a force exerted on a body by gravity
Weight
Answer the following:
(Earth) g = ?
(Moon) g = ?
9.8 m/s²
1.62 m/s²
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
Law of interaction
What is the other term for law of interaction?
Law of action - reaction
What is the direction of action and reaction?
Opposite direction
