Study Notes
The Laws of Newton
First Law: Law of Inertia
- An object at rest remains at rest unless acted upon by a force.
- An object in motion continues to move in a straight line at a constant speed unless a force is applied.
- An object only changes its speed (magnitude or direction) when a force is applied to it.
- Friction occurs when two moving objects or objects in contact.
Second Law of Newton
- Force, Mass, and Acceleration are related.
- Greater force results in greater acceleration.
- Greater mass requires more force for acceleration.
- Mass is responsible for making an object more or less lightweight.
Examples
- If a box is pushed with more force, it moves faster and accelerates more.
- A heavier box (greater mass) requires more force to move it the same distance as a lighter box.
- When applying the same force to two objects with different masses, the object with less mass accelerates more.
