Physics and inertia.

What is inertia?

An objects natural resistance to change in its motion. It is a property of matter, not force.

What are the 3 rules of inertia?

Objects at rest stay at rest.

Objects in motion stays in motion { same speed, straight line}.

More mass = more inertia.

What is Newton’s second law of motion, and what formula represents it?

Newton's second law of motion states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. This relationship is represented by the formula: F= ma F=ma where:

• FF is the net force applied to the object,

• mm is the mass of the object, and

• a is the acceleration.

what is the difference between kinetic energy and potential energy?

Kinetic is the energy of a moving object.

Potential energy is stored energy based on a objects position or state.
