Newtons Law Physics

?
What is inertia?
How hard it is to change motion of an object
1 of 12
State Newton's 1st Law
A body will remain at rest, or continue to move with a constant velocity, unless acted upon by an external resultant force
2 of 12
What does resultant force mean?
The overall force acting on an object
3 of 12
What is force measured in?
Newtons
4 of 12
To find the resultant force, if the forces are acting in the same direction what do you do?
Add them together
5 of 12
To find the resultant force, if the forces are acting in different directions what do you do?
Subtract them
6 of 12
State Newton's 2nd Law
Acceleration is directly proportional to resultant force
7 of 12
How do you calculate resultant force?
mass x acceleration
8 of 12
What is the definition of mass?
Mass is a measure of how much "matter" or material an object has. It is measured in KG
9 of 12
What is the definition of weight?
Weight is a measure of how large the force of gravity is on an object. It is measured in N
10 of 12
How do you calculate weight?
Weight = mass x gravitational field strength
GFS is always 10N/KG
11 of 12
State Newton's 3rd Law
If a body A exerts a force on body B then body B exerts an equal and opposite force on body A
