Foundations Of Physics Flashcards
1
Q
Newton’s first law
A
An object will remain at rest, or travel at a constant velocity unless a resultant force acts on it
2
Q
Newtons third law
A
If object A exerts a force on object B, then object B exerts an equal and opposite for on object A. - both forces are of the same type
3
Q
Why is - when a single object has both weight and normal contact not a example of newtons 3rd law of motion
A
Forces are different types (one is gravitational one is electrostatic) and the forces are both acting on the same object
