Question

1. what is the tendency of a mass to resist changes to its velocity?
2. What happens to the answer to #1 as the mass of that object increases?
3. Which of Newton's laws is #1 and #2 talking about?
4. If the same force is applied to a large mass and a small mass, deescribe the difference in their motion.
5. Which of Newton's laws describes #4?
6. What force is produced by gravity accelerating a mass downward?
7. What is the name of the force that opposes #6?
8. #7 is sometimes called a smart force...why?
9. Which of Newton's laws explains #7?

Explanation / Answer

1. The tendency of mass to resist changes its velocity is nothing but the inertia

of rest. This means the body does not change its position without apply any external

force.

2.  If mass is heigh it opposes the motion.

3. Newtons 1st and 2nd laws are talking about Inertia

4. If same force is applied to the large and small masses, the large will have heigh inertia

of rest than smaller one. Since larger have heigh mass than smaller one it not ready to

move as smaller

5. First law

6. Gravitational attraction force

7. Air drag force ( air friction )

8. In most cases the air drag force is neglisible, so it is called smart force

9.second law or nothing but law of momentum. This means if gravitational force is more

the momentum of body will also increases.If gravitationl force is less the momentum

of body is less
