Term | Definition |
Law of Inertia (At Rest) | An Object at rest will remain at rest unless acted on by an unbalanced force.
An object in mo |
Law of Inertia (In Motion) | An Object in motion continues in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. |
Law F=M*A | Acceleration is produced when a force acts on a mass |
Law F = M*A (Greater Mass) | The Object being accelerated - the greater the amount of force needed to accelerate the object. |
Law : Action/Reaction | For Every actin there is an equal and opposite re-action |
Law of Acceleration | a force acting on an object causes the object to accelerate in the direction of that force. |
What causes Acceleration? | Force |
The greater the mass of the object | The greater its inertia |
The book is sitting on the table is at rest and will not move until someone moves it is an example of which one of Newton's Law? | Law of Inertia |
Momentum | Property of a moving object because of its mass and velocity |
Increase in mass or velocity causes what? | an increate in Momentum |
How is Momentum calculated? | P=mv |
Units for Momentum are? | kg m/s |
Law of Conservation of Momentum | In the absence of external forces applied to a system, the total momentum cannot change. |
Force causes acceleration of the object to accelerate in what direction? | in the direction of the force. |
Force is required to change ? | Motion |
Unbalanced force | when the net force is NOT exactly zero |
What is Newton's 1st Law | The Law of Inertia |
What is Newton's 2nd Law | The Law of Acceleration |
What is Newton's 3rd Law | The Law of Action and Reaction |
