newtons laws
uhhhh idk
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Inertia | The tendency of a physical object to remain still or continue moving unless force is applied |
| Newton’s First Law of Motion | An object at rest stays at rest or an object in motion stays in motion until unbalanced forces act upon it. This is often referred to as Newton's law of inertia. |
| At Rest | The state of an object when it is not in motion |
| Unbalanced Forces | Forces on an object that cause change in the motion of the object |
| Newton’s Second Law of Motion | Acceleration of an object depends on the object's mass and the magnitude of the force acting upon it (F = ma). This is often referred to as Newton's law of force and acceleration. |
| Force | A push or pull that can change the motion of an object |
| Magnitude | The size or quantity of something |
| Acceleration | The rate of change in an object's speed |
| Newton’s Third Law of Motion | For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. This is often referred to as Newton's law of action-reaction. |
| Action | The way that something causes a change |
| Reaction | Resistance or force of equal magnitude acting in the opposite direction of an action force |
| inertia | rock potato at rest |
| Newton’s First Law of Motion | a car stopping |
| at rest | an object not moving |
| unbalanced forces | an object turning a corner |
| Newton's Second law | equal mass times acceleration |
| Force | a push or pull |
| Maginitude | size of a chicken nugget |
| Acceleration | a car moving faster |
| Newton's third law | rocket launching |
| Action | motion |
| reaction | what happens after |
