newton law of motion
physical science
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| newton's 1st law | Every object in a state of uniform motion tends to remain in that state of motion unless an external force is applied to it. |
| newton's 2nd law | an object's mass m, its acceleration a, and the applied force F is F = ma. Acceleration and force are vectors (as indicated by their symbols being displayed in slant bold font); in this law the direction of the force vector is the same as the direction o |
| newton's 3rd law | For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. |
| newton's 1st law is also known as | "Law of Inertia". |
| law of inertia | A body will preserve its velocity and direction so long as no force in its motion's direction acts on it. |
| all objects have | inertia |
| mass | a measure of inertia |
| smaller mass | the smaller the inertia |
| larger mass | the larger the inertia |
