| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is inertia? | Property of matter that causes objects to resist changes in motion. Proportional to mass. |
| What is Newton's first law? | If the net force acting on an object is zero, the object will maintain its state of motion or constant velocity. |
| What is Newton's second law? | When the net force acting on an object is not zero, the object will accelerate in the direction of the net force. Fnet = ma |
| What is mass? | How much matter is in an object. Same everywhere in the universe. Symbol m. |
| What are the SI units for mass? | Kilograms |
| What is weight? | The force of gravity acting on an object. Differs from place to place in the universe. Symbol Fg. |
| What are the SI units for weight? | Newtons |
| How can weight be calculated? | Fg = mg |
| What is Newton's third law? | For every force, there is a reaction force equal in magnitude but opposite in direction. |
| What is "mu"? | The coefficient of friction. Unitless quantity. |
