Newton's Laws of Motion
According to legend what fruit hit Newton on the head for him develop physics.
The units for Force
Newton
The resistance to motion of one object moving relative to another
Friction
This type of math Newton developed to describe physics.
Calculus
Energy of motion
Kinetic Energy
The acceleration of an object is proportional to the net force
Newton’s Second Law
The unit for Energy
Joules
The mass of an object multiplied by its velocity
Is dependent on the direction
Momentum
The total momentum in a system of interacting objects cannot change as long as all forces act only between the objects in the system
Law of Momentum Conservation
Energy due to the position (Stored Energy)
Potential Energy
Every Action force creates a reaction force that is equal in strength and opposite in direction
Newton’s Third Law
The unit for momentum
Newton seconds or kilogram meter divided by seconds
The change in momentum
Impulse
Energy can never be created or destroyed, just converted from one from into another
Law of conservation of energy
Occurs when objects change shape or stick together, and the total kinetic energy of the system decreases
Inelastic collision
An object continues the motion it is already in unless they are acted on by a net force
Newton's First Law
Unit for momentum
kilogram meter divided by seconds
The change in momentum over time
Force
Measures the ability for things to change themselves or to cause a change in other things
Energy
Occurs when objects bounce off each other with no loss in the total kinetic energy of the system
Elastic collision
