Reminder: Acceleration
... m a is not a force! Don’t confuse mass and weight! Newton’s 2nd Law is only valid in Inertial Frames of Reference – In an accelerating car, there is no force pushing you into the seat instead, the seat is exerting an accelerating force on you – In a falling elevator, there is a force (weight) acting ...

This answer must be incorrect because it contradicts the assertion that no material object can travel faster than the speed of light. • Let two frames or reference be labelled b an ...

Fortunately, for most purposes, the resulting fictitious forces are very small. If this were not the case, Newton might never have discovered his famous laws! But there are situa ...

... The concept of mass is used to characterize and compare two bodies on the basis of certain fundamental mechanical experiments depending on the definitions given above. For example: 1) Two bodies of the same mass will be attracted by the Earth in the same manner. 2) They will also offer the same resi ...
