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.
