Chapter 6 laws of motion
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Newton's first law of motion | An object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion with the same velocity unless acted upon by an ubalanced force. |
Unbalanced forces | Forces that result in a net force on an object and can cause a change in motion. |
Inertia | The property of an object that results resists changes in its motion. |
Newton's second law | A law of motion that states acceleration is force divided by mass. |
Newton's third law | A law of motion that states that for every action force there is a reaction force equal in strength and opposite direction. |
Momentum | The mass of an object times its velocity. |
Laws of conservation of momentum | A law that states that as long as interacting objects are not influenced by outside forces, the total amount of momentum is constant. |
