PHY SCI 1 Final: PHY SCI 1: Motion
Document Summary
Write the formula of the following: speed, velocity, acceleration, law of acceleration. State the 3 laws of motion and give one example for each law: newton"s first law (inertia) Objects in motion tend to stay in motion and objects at rest tend to stay at rest unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. Example: the book on the table stays in place unless it is dislodged: newton"s second law (acceleration) The force on an object is equal to its mass times its acceleration. Example: two people walking: newton"s third law (action, reaction) There is an equal and opposite reaction for every action. For every action force, there is a reaction force equal in strength and opposite in direction. Describe your understanding about motion not only in physics but as a whole. In physics, motion is defined as a change in the position or orientation of a body over time.
