When the net force acting on a body is zero, its acceleration must be zero, meaning that the velocity remains constant.

Inertia
It refers to how much an object resists a change in its velocity and is measured by mass.
New cards
5
Newton’s Second Law
This law reveals that force is a vector parallel to the acceleration.

pounds or newtons
Force is measured in \____________.
New cards
8
Newton’s Third law
For every force exerted by one object on another, there is another force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction that is exerted back by the second object on the first.
New cards
9
Mass
A measure of inertia and is the proportionality constant that relates force to acceleration in Newton’s second law.

Weight
The magnitude of the force exerted on an object by the closest nearby planet (typically Earth) according to the formula.

12
Gravitational Force
The most prevalent force in the universe, pulling together on any two objects with mass in the universe.

13
Normal Force
Denotes FN. Its magnitude is determined by Newton’s second law. Always perpendicular.
