Flashcards
Newton's First Law of Motion
Newton's First Law of Motion
A body remains at rest, or moves at a constant velocity in a straight line, unless acted upon by a net force.
Newton's Second Law of Motion
Newton's Second Law of Motion
The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on the object, is in the same direction as the net force, and is inversely proportional to the mass of the object.
Newton's Third Law of Motion
Newton's Third Law of Motion
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
