Newton's Laws of Motion
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Velocity? | Change in position of both speed & direction. |
| Speed? | Distance / Time. |
| Acceleration? | Rate of Change in velocity. |
| Newton's First Law of Motion | Inertia |
| Newton's Second Law of Motion | Acceleration in the Direction |
| Newton's Third Law of Motion | Equal & Opposite Action-Reaction |
| Force? | A push or a pull. |
| Motion? | A change in position over both distance & time. |
| Net Force? | Two or more combined forces acting on an object. |
| Balanced Force? | Two forces of equal size, but opposite in direction. |
| Vector? | Diagram of direction. |
| Physics? | The study of energy. |
| Energy of motion? | Kinetic Energy. |
| Stored energy due to position? | Potential Energy. |
| An object at rest will stay at rest unless acted upon by an outside force. | First Law of Motion - Inertia. |
| The acceleration of an object will happen in the same direction as the net force acting upon it. | Second Law of Motion - Acceleration in the direction. |
| Friction? | Force that opposes motion between two surfaces. |
| Slowing Down? | Acceleration |
| Formula to calculate Force? | Force = Mass x Acceleration |
| 1 object, but 2 forces? | Net Force. |
| 1 Force, but 2 objects? | Action-Reaction. |
