How does newtons law of motion apply to a bridges' efficiency?

I. Every object in a state of uniform motion tends to remain in that state of motion unless an external force is applied to it.


Use Newtons second law to determine how much force is being applied to an object that is traveling at a constant velocity?

If there is no force against motion,applied force is zero. If there is force against motion,applied force is equal and opposite to that force.


There is no motion when forces acting on an object are?

An object at rest will stay at rest unless acted upon by an external force - newtons 1st law of motion. It will stay at rest If no force is applied. Also if equal and opposite forces are applied (balanced) to a resting object it will remain at rest also - every action has an equal and opposite reaction - newtons 3rd law of motion

Name of newtons first law of motion?

the law of inertia


What law talks about objects at rest and in motion?

Newtons laws of motion


What is the newtons 1st law?

Newton's first law states that an object will remain at rest or in uniform motion unless acted upon by an external force. This means that an object will not change its state of motion unless a force is applied to it.


Who discover newtons law of motion?

Isaac Newton, he discovered: -Newton's First Law of motion. -Newton's Second Law of motion. -Newton's Third Law of motion.


What is newtons 2nd law in motion?

law of inertia F=MA


What is another name for newtons law of motion?

Momentum.


What is newtons third law of motion called?

Newton's third law of motion is that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. This law is also called reciprocal motion/force or "action-reaction."


Why does a truck seem to jump when braking?

Newtons law of motion comes into play here. When the brakes are applied the body of the truck will want to continue on its forward motion. The contact of the tyres with the road will try to control that forward motion.
