Study Notes
Laws of Motion
- Describe the relationship between an object's motion and the forces acting on it
Newton's First Law
- States that an object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force
- Also known as the law of inertia
Newton's Second Law
- States that the acceleration of an object is dependent upon two variables: the net force acting upon the object and the mass of the object
- Can be summarized by the equation: force equals mass times acceleration (F = ma)
Newton's Third Law
- States that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction
