Forces

?
Define air resistance
A force that opposes motion through air - the quicker you travel the bigger the air resistance.
1 of 7
Define weight
The force of gravity acting on your mass.

What is Hooke's law?
The extension of the spring, x, is directly proportional to the force applied to it, F.
3 of 7
Equation for Hooke's law
F = Kx - where K is a constant.
4 of 7
Define displacement
The distance travelled from the starting point.

What is Newton's first law?
If the resultant force is zero - all forces are balanced. If forces are balanced the object will remain in its state, either stationary or moving in a constant direction at a constant speed

What is Newton's second law?
If the forces on an object are unbalanced two things can change:
