Q

What is Newton’s First Law Of Motion?

A

An object at rest will remain at rest, and an object moving at a constant velocity will continue moving at a constant velocity, unless it is acted upon by an unbalanced force?

17
Q

What is Newton’s Second Law of Motion?

A

Acceleration depends on the object’s mass and on the net force acting on the object?

18
Q

What is Newton’s Third Law of Motion?

A

If one object exerts a force on another object, then the second object exerts a force of equal strength in the opposite direction on the first object.
