Why do you have newtons and why?
A newton is called a newton because it is a measure of the force of gravity. And Sir Issac Newton was the first to notice a force tieing us to earth. As a scienist he named his observation after himself
Another name for newton's first law of motion is?
The law of inertia (it relates to an object's resistance to the change in motion)
explain how newton’s first law can be derived from newton’s second law?
Force = mass x acceleration; acceleration = force / mass. If force is zero, then obviously, acceleration will also be zero.
What is the weight in newtons of a 10kg mass on earth's surface?
98.07 newtons (Force = mass x acceleration)
What does newtons first law of motion state about objects at rest and objects in motion?
An object in motion will not change its motion unless acted on by an external force. This applies to zero motion also.

What is newtons first law of motion also called?
Law of Inertia.
What is negative acceleration also called?
Negative acceleration is also called as deceleration.
Whats the equation for acceleration?
Acceleration=force divided by mass. The above is Newtons second law. Acceleration is also the change in velocity over the change in time, so it can also be stated as a=(final velocity - initial velocity)/(elapsed time)
How many newtons does 1 kg dropped from 1 meter produce?
1 kg when dropped accelerates at 9.81 metres per second per second under gravity. Newton's 2nd law says force is mass times acceleration, and the force in Newtons is therefore the mass (1) times the acceleration (9.81), which is 9.81 Newtons. That is the force pulling it down, also termed its weight.
Newtons first law is also know as?
Law of inertia.
The magnitude of a force is measured in?
Newtons. Force is equal to the mass times the acceleration.(metric) Foot-pounds.(English System) this force is also called torque.
What does newtons 2nd law state?
Newtons 2nd law means that when force is applied on any object an acceleration is produced in the direction of force which is applied on it. The acceleration produced in the object is directly proportional to the force applied on the object i.e. if force increases then acceleration will also increase and the acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass of object i.e. if the mass of the body decreases then acceleration will increase. If force is represented by 'F', acceleration by 'a' and mass by 'm' then a is directly proportional to F a is inversely proportional to m

Why is acceleration?
Acceleration means how fast velocity changes. "How fast" means change of velocity per time unit - and this is also called a "rate".Acceleration means how fast velocity changes.

Which is also called as retardation or deceleration?
Deceleration is a special case of what physicists call "acceleration" - a rate of change of velocity.
