Key points. weight A force that acts on mass, pulling it down, due to gravity. Weight is a force and forces are measured in newtons (N). mass A measure of the amount of matter an object is made ...
In special relativity, the rule that Wilczek called "Newton's Zeroth Law" breaks down: the mass of a composite object is not merely the sum of the masses of the individual pieces. [81]: 33 Newton's first law, inertial motion, remains true. A form of Newton's second law, that force is the rate of change of momentum, also holds, as does the ...
Therefore, 1 kg mass has a weight on Earth of 10 N and a 5 kg mass will weigh 50 N. The Wmg triangle can be used to find weight (W), or mass (m) or gravitational field strength (g). Question

Discuss… 1. different forces on same object (result?) 2. different objects with same forces (result?) 3. different objects with same acceleration (how?) Consequences… Newton's second law of motion states that acceleration is directly proportional to net force when mass is constant… and that acceleration is inversely proportional to mass when net fo...
Newton also defined what he called "the quantity of matter" and "the quantity of motion". We now call them "mass" and "momentum", respectively.

A force is an interaction that causes acceleration. More generally, a force is an interaction that causes a change. 2. Force is a vector quantity associated with an interaction. 3. When several forces act on a system it is the net, external force that matters. Since force is a vector quantity, use geometry instead of arithmetic when combi...
Inertial mass is a measure of how difficult it is to change the velocity of an object. The inertial mass can be measured using this rearrangement of Newton's second law: \(\text{m} = \frac{\text{F ...
6.4 Newton’s Second Law & Accelerated Motion. Newton’s second law [2], most commonly seen as [latex]F = ma[/latex] (scalar form) relates the amount of acceleration that results from an unbalanced force that acts on an object. Using this new approach to measure acceleration, we are able to expand the situations where constant acceleration ...

The tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion varies with mass. Mass is that quantity that is solely dependent upon the inertia of an object. The more inertia that an object has, the more mass that it has. A more massive object has a greater tendency to resist changes in its state of motion.
