Module 10 - Newton's Laws
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Newton's First Law | The velocity of an object will not change unless the object is acted on by an outside force. |
| Inertia | The tendency of an object to resist changes in its velocity |
| Friction | A force resulting from the contact of two surfaces. This force opposes motion. |
| Newton's Second Law | When an object is acted on by an outside force, the strength of that force is equal to the mass of the object times the resulting acceleration. |
| Kinetic friction | The friction that exists between surfaces when at least one of those surfaces is moving relative to the other |
| Static friction | The friction that exists between surfaces when neither surface is moving relative to the other |
| Newton's Third Law | For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. |
