Unit 7- Newton's Laws Flashcards
First law is also know as:
The law of Inertia
When will an object stop moving in the same direction??
When an unbalanced object acts on it
What is inertia??
The tendency of all objects to resist any change in motion
What property determines how much interia an object has??
Mass
What object has more interia??
Hammer or tennis ball??
Hammer
Newton’s 2nd law:
When an unbalanced force is applied to a mass it causes it to accelerate
The greater the force the __________ the acceleration
Greater
The lesser the force the________ the acceleration
Lesser
If the same force is applied to a large mass it’ll have _________ acceleration
Less
If the same force is applied to an object with a small mass it’ll have ___________ acceleration q
More
What does F=MA stand for??
F= force m=mass a=acceleration
What r the units used for force??
Newtons
Measurement for mass
Weight in grams
Measurement for acceleration
Speed m/s
The third law of motion:
Every time there is an action force, there is a re-action force that is equal in size and acts in an opposite direction
