Who is Sir Isaac Newton?
A English physicist an a mathematician .
Is there a formula for newtons first law?
There is no mathematical formula for the first law.
What is the formula for the second law?
A-Acceleration
F-Force
M-Mass
Where does friction happen?
It acts at the surface where the objects are in contact
define force ?
push or pull on a objcet
What was Newton most famous for?
Newton was most famous for producing three basic laws.
How is inertia tie into Newtons first law?
inertia is a tend for nothing to change, which is basically the fist law.
When is Acceleration is produced ?
When a force acts on a mass.
what is rolling friction?
occurs when one object rolls over another surface. It's the force that slows down or opposes the movement of a rolling object
define balanced force ?
to force equal in size and acting in the opposite direction
define Inertia
the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion
What is Newtons first law?
Newtons first law is objects at rest tend to stay at rest until acted on by another object.
how is gravity and acceleration related?
Gravity causes objects to accelerate downward
Air resistance (fluid friction) acts in the direction opposite to the motion and reduces acceleration
what is sliding friction
When two things rub against each other and one slides over the other, causing resistance or a slowing down of movement.
define friction ?
a force that cuases a moving object to slow down when it touches an other object
define mass
Measure of inertia of an object and depends on the amount of matter the object contains
What is an Example of Newtons first law?
An example is sitting on a couch but until another object acts on it it will move.
Does the acceleration depend on two objects ?
Yes the acceleration depends on two objects.
what is static friction?
The force that keeps things still when they're resting against each other. It stops things from sliding or moving when you're not pushing or pulling them.
the combonation of all forces ona object
define Terminal Velocity
Constant velocity of a falling object when force of resistance equals gravity
What happens when a object act on a object at rest?
The object will move and not continue to stay at rest.
Will a object accelerate if there is a net ?
an object will only accelerate if there is a net or unbalanced force acting upon it.
what is fluid friction?
When things move through liquids (like water) or gases (like air). Slows down or opposes the movement of objects passing through these substances.
define acceleration ?
the rate at which an object changing directions.
