In this unit we learned about the three laws of motion and we specifically focused on Newtons second law of motion (F = M X A). We learned that the more force you apply the greater the acceleration and the less force the slower the acceleration, but if you add to the mass the acceleration will decrease
NEWTONS SECOND LAW OF MOTION
Newtons second law of motion states the acceleration of an object depends on both the mass of the object and the force applied.
The equation is Force = Mass X Acceleration
The more force you apply on a object the greater the acceleration, and the less force you apply on a object the slower the acceleration. Although, if the mass increases but the force stays the same the acceleration will decrease.
NEWTONS THREE LAWS
Newtons three laws state:
First law - A object in motion will stay in motion until a force acts upon it
Second Law - The acceleration of an object depends on both the mass of the object and the force applied.
Third law - For every force there is a equal and opposite reaction
Inertia
Inertia is the tendency for an object to resist a change in motion.
The more mass an object has, the more inertia.
Inertia relates to the three laws because it is related to speed and motion.
