Mr. Biando's Lab - Newtons Laws
| Definition | Term |
|---|---|
| An object at rest remains at rest, and an object in motion remains in motion at a constant speed and in a straight line unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. | Newton's first law of motion |
| An object at rest with a total net force of zero Newtons. | Balanced force |
| An object in motion with a total net force of one or more Newtons applied. | Unbalance force |
| The tendency of an object to resist being moved or, if the object is moving, to resist a change in speed or direction until an outside force acts on the object. | Inertia |
| The acceleration of an object depends on the mass of the object and the amount of force. | Newton's second law of motion |
| Another name for Newton's first law of motion. | Law of inertia |
| When the acceleration of an object decreases as its mass increases and that its acceleration increases as its mass decreases. | Newton's second law of motion |
| When an object's acceleration increases as the force on the object increase, or the object's acceleration will decrease as the force on the object decreases. | Newton's second law of motion |
| acceleration is equal to force divided by mass. | Newton's second law of motion |
| Whenever one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite force on the first. | Newton's third law of motion |
| All forces act in pairs. | Newton's third law of motion |
| For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. | Newton's third law of motion |
