|
Newtons 1st Law
|
if anything is in motion or at rest it will stay in motion or at rest until something stops/moves it. (Law of Inertia) motion or rest
|
|
Newtons 2nd Law
|
Acceleration is directly proportional to force and inversely proportional to mass. (big force, big acceleration) more mass; less acceleration. less mass; more acceleration
|
|
Newtons 3rd Law
|
Every axom has an equal and opposite force (Action and Reaction)
|
|
Force
|
mass x acceleration or gravity
g= 9.8 m/s^2 |
|
Acceleration
|
Change of Speed/time
Rate of change in velocity if direction is given its a vector. speed does not need direction |
|
Rate
|
distance/time
|
|
Distance
|
average speed x time
Length from point a to point b |
|
Work
|
force x distance
|
|
Momentum
|
defined as mass x velocity
(vector quantity) kg x m/sec |
|
Law of Conservation of Momentum
|
momentum before collision is always equal to momentum after impact
|
|
inelastic
|
collision where joined together. lost energy
|
|
elastic
|
collision where no energy lost
|
|
Force
|
rate of change of momentum
|
|
Energy
|
neither can be created nor destroyed
