Questions and Answers

What is the principle of inertia in Newtonian mechanics?

  • The force exerted by an object on another object
  • An object at rest will remain at rest, and an object in motion will continue with constant velocity unless acted on by a net external force (correct)
  • The acceleration experienced by an object due to gravity
  • The resistance of an object to change its state of motion
  • In Newtonian mechanics, what is a frame of reference?

  • The mass of an object at rest
  • The speed of light in a vacuum
  • A coordinate system used to describe the motion of objects (correct)
  • The force exerted by an object on another object
  • How does Newtonian mechanics describe the relationship between force and acceleration?

  • Force is inversely proportional to acceleration
  • Force equals mass times acceleration (correct)
  • Force equals the change in momentum over time
  • Force is directly proportional to acceleration
  • Study Notes

    Newtonian Mechanics Fundamentals

    • The principle of inertia states that an object at rest will remain at rest, and an object in motion will continue to move with a constant velocity, unless acted upon by an external force.

    Frames of Reference

    • A frame of reference is a fixed point or system from which the motion of an object is measured, observed, or described.

    Force and Acceleration

    • Newtonian mechanics describes the relationship between force and acceleration as F = ma, where force (F) is equal to mass (m) multiplied by acceleration (a).
    • This equation shows that force is directly proportional to acceleration, and inversely proportional to mass.
