What are newton's three laws?
Show answer
A common Eduqas error is to treat a Newton's third law pair as the cause of equilibrium. The pair acts on different objects (for example the Earth pulls a book down, the book pulls the Earth up), whereas equilibrium of the book balances the weight against the normal force, which act on the same object.
What is q1?
Show answer
State Newton's second law in its most general form. [1 mark]
What is q2?
Show answer
A 1200 kg1200\ \text{kg} car experiences a resultant forward force of 3000 N3000\ \text{N}. Find its acceleration. [2 marks]
What is q3?
Show answer
State the two conditions for an object to be in equilibrium. [2 marks]
