Newton's laws

Cards (5)

  • Inertia = the reluctance of an object with mass to accelerate
  • The greater the mass, the more inertia it has.
  • newton's first law: an object remains in the same state of motion unless a resultant force acts on it
  • newton's second law: force is equal to mass * acceleration
    F=ma
  • newton's third law: whenever two objects interact, they exert equal and opposite forces on each other
    every action has an equal and opposite reaction
