Newtons first and second law Flashcards
1
Q
What happens If the resultant force on a stationary object is zero?
A
the object will remain stationary.
2
Q
What happens if the resultant force on a moving object is zero?
A
itll just carry on moving at the same velocity
3
Q
What is the formula of newtons second law
A
F=ma
Resultant force=mass x acceleration
4
Q
What is newtons first law
A
If the resultant force acting on an object is zero and:
* the object is stationary, the object remains stationary
* the object is moving, the object continues to move at the
same speed and in the same direction. So the object
continues to move at the same velocity.

Q
What is newtons second law
A
The acceleration of an object is proportional to the resultant force
acting on the object, and inversely proportional to the mass of the
object.
