Inertia — property?
Resists changes in motion.
Force and Second Law — formula?
F = ma.
Action-Reaction Pairs — law?
Newton's Third Law.
Inertia — definition?
Resistance to changes in motion
Newton's First Law — states?
Objects stay at rest or in uniform motion
Force — definition?
A push or pull causing acceleration
Newton's Second Law — formula?
F = ma (force equals mass times acceleration)
Mass — role in inertia?
Larger mass means greater inertia
