Newton's 1st Law
A body will remain at rest or continue moving at a constant speed unless acted on by a resultnat force.
1 of 9
Newton's 2nd Law
The rate of change in momentum is directly proprotional to the resultant force and takes place in the direction of that force.
2 of 9
Newton's 3rd Law
When 2 objects interact they each exert an equal and opposite force on the other.
3 of 9
Momentum
A property of an object travelling in a straight line, the product of mass and velocity in (kgms-1)
4 of 9
The principle of conservation of momentum
Total momentum of a system remains the smae before and after the collision.
5 of 9
Elastic
In a perfectly elastic collision momentum is conserved as is total energy and so is total KE.
6 of 9
Inelastic
In an inelastic collion total KE is not conserved.
7 of 9
Impulse
The area underneath a force-time graph - the product of force and the tiem fro which it acts.
8 of 9
Force-time graphs
A graph of net force against time with the area underneath equal to the impulse.
