How to find force?
Force=MassX Acceleration
What is Inertia
Tendency for an object to stay at rest or to continue in uniform motion (constant velocity) is called inertia
What is weight?
The weight of an object is the force of gravity acting on the object
How to find weight?
Weight= mass Divided acceleration due to gravity
What is terminal velocity?
The maximum velocity that an object can travel at in a fluid
What is thinking distance?
The thinking distance is the distance travelled in between the driver realising he needs to brake and actually braking.
Or
The distance travelled during the reaction time.
What is braking distance?
The braking distance is the distance taken to stop once the brakes are applied
How to calculate braking force?
Force is easily calculated using Force= MassXAcceleration
