Newton’s First Law (The Law of Inertia)

An object at rest will remain at rest and an object in motion will remain in motion in the same direction at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

3
New cards

When the forces are balanced and the object is not moving

they are in static equiliberium

4
New cards

When the forces are balanced and the object is moving at a constant velocity

They are in dynamic equiliberium

5
New cards

Inertia

the amount an object will resist a change in motion.

6
New cards

Intertia depends on

mass

7
New cards

A object with greater mass resists change in motion

more inertia it has

8
New cards

Gravitational mass

measured by measuring an object’s weight using weight = mg
