PCS 211 Lecture Notes - Lecture 6: Net Force, Seat Belt, Minimum Mass
Document Summary
An object of mass m will undergo acceleration a = fnet , Fnet = f1 + f2 + f3 + is the vector sum of the the individual forces acting on the object. where. The acceleration vector a points in the same direction as the net force vector fnet. m . 1 slope of the acceleration-versus-force graph (cid:149) inertia mass is an intrinsic (inherent) property of an object and is independent of the object"s surroundings. (cid:149) mass is a _____ and should not be confused with weight: yuan. This law is also known as the law of inertia. Inertia: the tendency of an object to resist a change in its velocity. It defines inertial reference frames (irf): constant velocity. Newton"s first law and second law are only valid in _____: yuan. If object a exerts a force fa on b on object b, then object b exerts a force fb on a on object a.
