Newton’s First Law

If the forces are balanced (i.e. zero resultant force) there will be no acceleration

2
New cards

Newton’s Second Law

If the forces on an object are unbalanced, the object will accelerate

3
New cards

Equation for Newton’s Second Law

resultant force = mass x acceleration

4
New cards

Inertia

The tendency of an object to stay at rest or continue in uniform motion

5
New cards

Equation for inertial mass

inertial mass = force / acceleration

6
New cards

Newton’s Third Law

If object A exerts a force on object B, then object B exerts an equal and opposite force of the same type on object A.
