A force is necessary to keep an object in motion?
No, according to Newton's laws of motion, "an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted on by an opposing force." Basically, a force is needed to make an object start moving but the object will move on its own from kinetic energy. In fact once the object is no longer 'accelerating' it is in a new 'inertial state' and may indeed not be considered as 'in motion' by an observer in the same state. i.e. If a space shuttle is at rest with respect to the Space Station, it must then 'accelerate' (deceleration is the same as acceleration in science) to the state of motion of the Earth's surface to land. Anyone at rest on the runway will then also consider the shuttle as 'not moving'. So 'motion' and 'speed', are only ever 'RELATIVE' to a datum which must be specified.
What are forces that cause a change in motion?
The only thing that can change the motion of an object is a net (unbalanced) force acting on it. This is given by Newton's First Law of Motion, sometimes also called the Law of Inertia.
When an object is in motion which could not have a value of zero?
Newton's First Law of Forces states a lot of things. One of these things are, if an object is in motion, its net-force can not be zero. =================================== Hogwash ! Not only did Newton never make such a statement, it's not even true. When the net force on an object is zero, it continues in constant uniform motion, meaning constant speed in a straight line. If a net force is applied, then the speed or the direction of the object's motion can change ... called "acceleration". When an object is in motion, its momentum and kinetic energy are not zero.
Will an object in motion keep moving unless acted upon by an outside force?
Issac Newton More formally put Newton's First Law (also known as the Law of Inertia) states that an object at rest tends to stay at rest and that an object in uniform motion tends to stay in uniform motion unless acted upon by a net external force. It is the net external force bit that makes the law seem unreal to our everyday experience. In everyday life there are always external forces that make things slow down such as friction, air resistance, etc.
Can the chair make a motion in a meeting?
can the chairman make a motion?
How do you make project on Newton's laws of motion?
put my toe on it
When did isaac newton make newtons laws of motion and laws of universal gravitation?
He published the laws of motion on July 5th 1687 in Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica.
What things did Sir Isaac Newton work on?
A telescope that you can make out the colors clear. He also worked on light theory and the 3 laws of motion.
In what year did Newton make the first law of motion?
1799
Does gravity make a person jolt forward when a car stops's?
No, it's a force. Gravity just keeps you from floating around. For a reaction there is always an equal and opposite reaction. Newton said that. Look up Newton's Laws of Physics (or motion).
What was Isaac Newton's highest law of education?
Newton did not cite or make any laws of education.
What contribution did Newton make to science and astronamey?
Newton's most famous major discovery was the "Laws of Gravitation"
How do you make a working model based on newton's 3rd law of motion?
Not interested
When was force discovered?
Issac Newton created force in motion
Why can friction make observing newton's first law of motion terminal velocity?
This question does not make sense
How long ago did newton make his 3 laws?
He published then in 1687.
Did anyone help Isaac Newton make his laws?
yes his mom
