A

Law of Acceleration
(Newton’s second law of motion)

19
Q

It is more quantitative and is used extensively to calculate what happens in situations involving a force.

A

Law of Acceleration
(Newton’s second law of motion)

20
Q

The ________ of a system is directly proportional to and in the same direction as the net external force acting on the system, and inversely proportional to its mass.

A

acceleration

21
Q

The acceleration of a system is directly proportional to and in the same direction as the ________ acting on the system, and inversely proportional to its ______.

A

net external force
mass

22
Q

Fnet=ma is used to define the units of force in terms of the three basic units for ____, ____, and _____.

The ______ of force is called the newton (abbreviated N) and is the force needed to accelerate a 1-kg system at the rate of 1m/s2

A

mass, length, and time

SI unit

23
Q

1N= ?

A

1kg m/s²

24
Q

__________ is a force perpendicular to the surfaces is contact

A

Normal force

25
Q

The location of weight can be found in ________

A

Geometrical center

26
Q

If the force supporting a load is perpendicular to the surface of contact between the load and its support, this force is defined to be a _______

A

normal force

27
Q

A ________ is a force along the length of a medium, especially a force carried by a flexible medium, such as a rope or cable.

A

tension

28
Q

The word “tension” comes from a Latin word meaning “________.”

A

to stretch

29
Q

This law represents a certain symmetry in nature: Forces always occur in pairs, and one body cannot exert a force on another without experiencing a force itself.

A

LAW OF INTERACTION (Newton’s Third Law of motion)

30
Q

We sometimes refer to this law loosely as “action-reaction,” where the force exerted is the action and the force experienced as a consequence is the reaction.
