    Study Notes

    Newton's Laws of Motion

    • Newton's First Law (Inertia): An object will remain in its current state (rest or motion) unless acted upon by an unbalanced outside force. Equilibrium is balance, and inertia is the resistance to change in motion.
    • Inertia: An object's resistance to changes in its state of motion. An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
    • Equilibrium: A state of balance where all forces acting on an object are balanced.
    • An object in equilibrium is either at rest or moving at a constant velocity.
    • Acceleration: A change in velocity. An unbalanced force causes an object to accelerate in the direction of the force.
    • Net Force: The vector sum of all forces acting on an object. If forces are balanced, the net force is zero. If forces are unbalanced, the net force is not zero.

    Law of Acceleration

    • Acceleration: The rate at which velocity changes. Acceleration equals the net force on an object divided by its mass (a = Fnet/m).
    • Net Force: The vector sum of all forces acting on an object (Fnet = ma).
    • Mass: A measure of an object's resistance to acceleration. The more massive an object, the less it accelerates for a given net force.
    • Force: A push or pull capable of changing an object's state of motion.

    Law of Interaction

    • Action-Reaction: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Forces always come in pairs. The forces in a pair act on different objects.
    • Forces: Are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.
