NEWTONS LAW OF MOTION

Cards (19)

  • First Law of Motion
    Object at rest stays at rest, object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by an external force
  • F = ma
    Force equals mass times acceleration
  • Newton's Third Law
    Every action has an equal and opposite reaction
  • Inertia
    Objects tend to maintain their state of motion unless acted upon by an external force
  • Force and Acceleration
    Force equals mass times acceleration
  • Action and Reaction Forces

    For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction
  • Force
    A push or pull that can cause an object to change its motion, measured in Newtons
  • Tension Force
    A force that arises from stretched or compressed materials
  • Energy
    The ability to do work, comes in various forms
  • Work
    The transfer of energy from one object to another, measured in Joules (J)
  • Kinetic Energy
    Energy of motion, depends on velocity and mass
  • Conservation of Momentum
    Momentum is conserved during collisions
  • Momentum
    The product of an object's mass and velocity, measured in kg.m/s
  • Center of Mass
    The average position of an object's mass
  • Torque
    A measure of the twisting force on an object, measured in N.m
  • Rotational Dynamics
    The study of the forces that cause an object to rotate around a fixed axis
  • Angular Acceleration
    The rate of change of angular velocity
  • Angular Velocity
    The rate of change of angular displacement
  • Angular Displacement
    The total amount of rotation around the axis
