What is newtons first law?
A resultant is needed to make something start moving, speed up, slow down or change direction. So an object will remain stationary or moving at a constant velocity unless a resultant force acts upon it.
2
New cards
Zero resultant force
* If the resultant force on a stationary object is zero, the object will remain stationary.
* If the resultant force on a moving object is zero, it’ll just carry on moving at the same velocity.
3
New cards
Non-zero resultant force
If there is no-zero resultant force on an object, its velocity will change (it will accelerate in the direction of the force)
4
New cards
When a resultant force acts on an object, what is the change in velocity that is experiences?
* Starting
* Stopping
* Changing direction
* Speeding up
* Slowing down
