Newton's Laws

Cards (8)

  • What does Newton's First Law sta
    An object will remain at rest or in constant motion unless acted on by a resistant force.
  • What is the formula for Newton's Second Law?
    F = ma
  • How is the size of the resultant force related to acceleration?

    The size of the resultant force is directly proportional to the acceleration it causes.
  • How is acceleration calculated?

    Acceleration is calculated as the change in velocity divided by the change in time.
  • What does Newton's Third Law state about the forces between two interacting objects?

    The forces they exert on each other are equal and opposite.
  • What is meant by inertia mass?
    Inertia mass refers to how difficult it is to change an object's velocity.
  • How is inertia mass calculated?
    Inertia mass is calculated as force divided by acceleration.
  • What are the key principles of Newton's laws of motion?

    • Newton's First Law: An object remains at rest or in constant motion unless acted on by a resistant force.
    • Newton's Second Law: F = ma, where the resultant force is proportional to acceleration.
    • Newton's Third Law: Forces between two interacting objects are equal and opposite.
