Answer» Newton's Second LawNewton's Second LawThe Big MisconceptionFinding AccelerationFinding Individual Force ValuesFree FALL and Air ResistanceTwo-Body ProblemsNewton's first law of motion predicts the behavior of objects for which all existing forces are balanced. The first law - sometimes referred to as the law of inertia - states that if the forces acting UPON an object are balanced, then the acceleration of that object will be 0 m/s/s. Objects at equilibrium (the CONDITION in which all forces balance) will not accelerate. According to Newton, an object will only accelerate if there is a net or unbalanced force acting upon it. The presence of an unbalanced force will accelerate an object - changing its speed, its DIRECTION, or both its speed and direction. |
