Q
Force
A
A push or pull that alters, or tends to alter, the state of motion of a body
2
Q
N1L
A
A body will remain at rest or uniform velocity until acted upon by an external force
3
Q
Inertia
A
The resistance of a body to change it state of motion
4
Q
Velocity
A
The rate of motion in a particular direction
5
Q
N2L
A
The acceleration of a body is proportional to the magnitude of the force and takes place in the direction in which the force is applied
6
Q

A
The rate of change of velocity
7
