New cards

Newton’s first law of inertia

body will remain in state of rest or constant velocity unless acted on by external force

2
New cards

Newton’s second law of acceleration

body rate of change in momentum is proportional to size of force applied and acts in same direction of force

3
New cards

Newton’s third law of reaction

every action force applied to body there is equal and opposite reaction force

4
New cards

What is inertia?

resistance of body to change its state of motion

5
New cards

What is momentum?

quantity of motion possessed by moving body

6
New cards

Equation for momentum

momentum = mass X velocity

7
New cards

What is acceleration?

rate of change in velocity

8
New cards

What happens with momentum in 2nd law?

greater force, greater momentum and therefore greater acceleration
