Newton’s Second law – Acceleration is directly proportional to net force and inversely proportional to mass Newton's Third Law- every action has an equal and opposite reaction Interaction – a mutual action between objects where each object exerts an equal and opposite force on the other Action Force- one of the pair of forces described in Newton’s third law
Figure 1.8 Reaction force – the force that is equal in strength and opposite in direction to the action force, which acts simultaneously on whatever is exerting the action force Force – a push or a pull Mass - The amount of matter in an object Newton - the SI Unit for force Figure 2.0 Sir Isaac Newton was the great man in which Newtons are named after. Wikipedia Acceleration - he rate at which an object's velocity changes with time Net Force - The combined forces acting on an object. |
