Newton's
second
law
of
motion
describes how the
velocity
of an object
changes
when it is
subjected
to an
external
force.
Newton's
first
law
of
motion
states that an object will remain at
rest
or in
uniform
motion
in a
straight
line
unless acted upon by an
external
force.
the
speed
of
light
is the
maximum
possible
velocity
what is the difference between
potential
energy and
kinetic
energy
inertia
is an object's
resistance
to change its
state
of
motion
the
speed
of
light
is the
maximum
possible
speed
Newton's
third
law
of motion states that for
every
action,
there is an
equal
and
opposite
reaction.
light travels at approximately
300
,
000
km
/
sec
or 670 million miles per hour
inertia is an object's
resistance
to
change
in
motion
The equation F = ma relates the
net
force
acting on an
object,
its
mass
, and its
acceleration.
Inertia refers to the
tendency
of objects at rest or moving with
constant
speed
to remain so unless acted upon by a
resultant
force.
Acceleration is defined as the rate of
change
of
velocity.
The acceleration due to gravity on Earth is approximately
9.8
m
/
s
^
2
, but can vary depending on location.
Inertia refers to the tendency of an object to resist changes in its
state
of
motion.
Mass is a measure of the
amount
of
matter
in an object, while
weight
is a measure of the
gravitational
pull
acting on an object.
