Newton's Laws

    Cards (12)

    • An object at rest will remain at a rest, and an object moving at a constant velocity will continue moving at a constant velocity, unless it is acted upon by an unbalanced force.
      Newton's 1st Law
    • If a net force is applied to an object, it will accelerate at a rate proportional to the net force applied and inversely proportional to its mass.
      Newton's 2nd law
    • For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
      Newton's 3rd Law
    • An object will remain in its state of motion unless acted on by a non-zero net force (total force).
      Newton's 1st Law

      Newton's 1st Law
    • ∑F=ma

      Action Force: Ball on Bat
      Reaction Force: Bat on Ball
    • A baseball pushing a glove left as it's caught?
      Action Force: Ball on Glove
      Reaction Force: Glove on Ball
    • A kangaroo jumping on a trampoline?
      Action Force: Kangaroo on Trampoline
