Newton's first law states that an object will remain at rest or in constant motion unless a force acts upon the object. The word inertia means the tendency for an

object to remain in a state of rest or motion unless a force acts upon it. The name law of inertia is used for Newton's first law because it perfectly describes what the law is about.

What do newtons laws have to do with lacrosse?

Newtons laws have to do with lacrosse when (in guys lacrosse) you push the other player, which relates to newtons 2nd law, the larger the mass the harder the acceleration. Also, newtons 1st law involves throwing and catching a ball, newtons law says and object in motion will stay in motion until acted upon by an outside force. The object in motion is the ball and the outside force is the other person catching it, stopping the motion. Newtons third law relates to lacrosse when you make a shot and hit the post causing it to bounce off. The 3rd law states for every action theres an equal and opposite reaction. The reaction is the ball flying off the post.


What are the Newtons laws?

1st law: the law of Inertia states an object in motion will remain in motion and an object at rest will stay at rest unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. 2nd law: force, motion and acceleration are related. 3rd law: for every action there is an equal or opposite reaction


How is a shooting shotgun related to newtons law 3rd?

Newton's third law states that for any action there is an equal and opposite reaction. When you shoot a shotgun it pushes back on your shoulder, it's called a kick.

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


How do you find mass when given gravity and weight in Newtons?

When we calculate the net force acting on the object in these situations, we use the formula… FNET = Fa + Ff When you want to calculate the acceleration of an object, always use the net force acting on it. FNET = ma We need to think of the net force as the force pushing down on the scale causing it to give a reading. for example- The elevator pushing up on me will make me push down on the floor (Newton's 3rd Law). We will show this by making the acceleration (3.0m/s2) a negative value. The formula for this would look like this… FNET = Fg + Fa


Transmission stumbles upon acceleration between 2nd and 3rd gear?

A transmission that stumble upon acceleration between 2nd and 3rd gear may need to be flushed. Another possible cause is that the torque converter is locking when shifting between gears.

What is the acceleration of an object that travels 8 meters in 1 second 8 meters in the 2nd second and 8 meters in the 3rd second?

Acceleration is the increase in speed from one unit of time to the next, so the described object has no acceleration. Its speed is constant.
