What is Newton’s 1st law?

In the absence of any resultant forces, a particle moves with constant velocity v

2
New cards

What is Newton’s 2nd law?

F = ma

3
New cards

How can we define the linear momentum of a particle?

p = mv (linear momentum = mass x velocity)

4
New cards

What is the rate of change of linear momentum equal to?

F = dp/dt

It is equal to the sum of the forces acting on it

5
New cards

What is Newton’s 3rd law?

For every force there is an equal and opposite reaction force

6
New cards

What is an intertial frame?

One in which Newton’s laws hold

7
New cards

What is the standard procedure?

  1. Draw diagram

  2. Identify forces

  3. Apply F = ma

  4. Form differential equation

  5. Solve

  6. Apply initial conditions

  7. Look at what this tells us: what is the shape of the particle path? what is the speed of motion? how far does the particle go? when/where does a given event occur?
