Newton's Laws

Cards (7)

  • Newton's first law- If an object is in a constant state of motion, it will maintain that acceleration unless acted on by an unbalanced force.
  • Inertia is the tendency of an object to remain moving as it has been.
  • Inertia relates to Newton's first law.
  • Newton's second law- Force= Mass x Acceleration.
  • Newton's Third Law- For every action force, there is an equal and opposite reaction force.
  • Heavy and light objects fall with the same acceleration- only different air resistances alter this effect.
  • Newton's third law questions- talk about an equal and opposite force.
