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
what is the equation for Newton’s second law?
F = ma (force = mass x acceleration)
what is Newton’s third law?
when two objects interact, they exert equal and opposite forces on each other
what is equilibrium?
when an object is stationary or moving at a constant velocity and the forces are balanced (resultant force = 0)
if suspended and free to rotate, where will the object come to rest?
with its centre of mass directly below the point of suspension
how does mass effect the force on it?
the larger the mass, the less the effect a certain force has on it
