FORCE AND LAWS LF MOTION

• Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in motion.
• Newton's first law states that if there are no resultant forces acting on an object, it will remain at rest or continue moving with constant velocity.
• The force on an object is the product of its mass and acceleration.
• The greater the mass, the more difficult it is to change its velocity
• Force = Mass x Acceleration
• Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity.
• The acceleration due to gravity (g) is approximately 9.8 m/s^2 near Earth's surface.
• Free fall refers to objects falling under the influence of gravity alone without any other external force acting upon them.
• Mass is a measure of how much matter an object contains.
• Weight is the gravitational pull on an object.
• When two objects collide, they exert equal but opposite forces on one another
• Acceleration = Force / Mass
• Mass is measured in kilograms (kg)
• Acceleration is measured in meters per second squared (m/s^2)
• An object falling from rest experiences free fall motion until it reaches terminal velocity.
• Velocity is the speed of an object in a particular direction.
• Speed is the magnitude (size) of the velocity vector.
• An object with zero initial velocity will have a final velocity equal to half the distance traveled during free fall.
• In free-fall motion, the acceleration remains constant at g.
• Newton's First Law states that if there are no forces acting on an object, it will remain at rest or continue moving with constant speed in a straight line.
• Force = mass x acceleration
• Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion.
• Newton's First Law states that if there are no forces acting on an object, then the object will either be stationary or move at a constant speed in a straight line.
