P2.2 Newtons Laws

Cards (14)

  • Newtons first law is An object at rest remains at rest, and an object in motion remains in motion at constant speed unless acted on by a force
  • Newton's second law is f=ma
  • The first law is also known as the law of inertia.
  • Newton's third law is every action has an equal and opposite reaction
  • Scalar quantities have only magnitude
  • Vector quantities have both magnitude and direction
  • The equation for momentum is, momentum = mass x velocity
  • the work done equation is work done = force x distance
  • power = work done / time taken
  • speed = distance / time
  • average speed = total distance traveled / total time taken
  • acceleration = change in velocity / time
  • (final velocity)2 - (initial velocity)2 = 2 × acceleration × distance
  • The displacement can be found by calculating the total area of the shaded sections below the line.
