Study Notes
Newton's Laws of Motion
- Inertia is an object's tendency to resist changes in its motion, according to Newton's first law.
- The SI unit of force is the Newton (N), which is equivalent to kg·m/s².
Force and Acceleration
- According to Newton's second law, the relationship between an object's acceleration, force, and mass is described by the equation F = ma, where F is the net force, m is the mass, and a is the acceleration.
Weight and Gravitational Force
- The scientific unit of force for weight is the Newton (N), which is a measure of the gravitational force acting on an object.
- Gravitational force refers to the attractive force between two objects with mass.
- Weight, in physics, refers to the force exerted on an object by gravity, which is equal to the product of the object's mass and the acceleration due to gravity (mg).
Newton's First Law
- Newton's first law of motion, also known as the law of inertia, states that an object at rest will remain at rest, and an object in motion will continue to move with a constant velocity, unless acted upon by an external force.
