Newtons Laws Flashcards
(6 cards)
Newtons First law
A body will remain in its state of rest or motion at constant velocity unless a non-zero net/resultant force acts on it
Newtons Second Law
When a resultant/net force acts on an object,the object will accelerate in the direction of the force at an acceleration directly proportional to the force and inversely proportional to the mass of the object
Acceleration
Is the rate of change of velocity of an object
Newtons Third Law
When object A exerts a force on object B,object B simultaneously exerts an oppositely directed force of equal magnitude on object A
Newtons law of universal gravitation
Each particle in the universe attracts evey other particle with a gravitational force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers
Weight
Is the gravitational force that earth exerts on any object on or near its surface
