Study Notes
Newton's Laws of Motion
- Describe the relationship between a body and the forces acting upon it.
Newton's First Law of Motion
- A body at rest will remain at rest, and a body in motion will continue to move with a constant velocity, unless acted upon by an external force.
Net Force on a Body
- The net force on a body is equal to the mass of the body multiplied by its acceleration (F = ma).
Newton's Third Law of Motion
- When two bodies exert forces on each other, the forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.
History of Newton's Laws
- Newton's three laws of motion were first stated in the late 17th century.
