New cards

what is Newton’s second law?

the object’s acceleration is directly proportional to its resultant force, and inversely proportional to the object’s mass

2
New cards

what is the equation for Newton’s second law?

F = ma (force = mass x acceleration)

3
New cards

what is Newton’s third law?

when two objects interact, they exert equal and opposite forces on each other

4
New cards

what is equilibrium?

when an object is stationary or moving at a constant velocity and the forces are balanced (resultant force = 0)

5
New cards

if suspended and free to rotate, where will the object come to rest?

with its centre of mass directly below the point of suspension

6
New cards

how does mass effect the force on it?

the larger the mass, the less the effect a certain force has on it
