  • 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.
