Study Notes

Chapter 7: Newton's Laws of Motion

Force and Quantity of Matter: Newton's laws describe how forces affect motion.
Example 7.1 Vector Decomposition Solution: A problem example about combining forces.
7.1.1 Mass Calibration: A method for measuring mass relative to a standard.
7.2 Newton's First Law: A body at rest stays at rest, and a body in motion stays in motion with the same velocity unless acted upon by a net force. This is also known as the Law of Inertia.
7.3 Momentum, Newton's Second Law and Third Law: Momentum is defined as the product of mass and velocity. Newton's second law states acceleration is directly proportional to the net force and inversely proportional to the mass. Newton's third law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
7.4 Newton's Third Law: Action-Reaction Pairs: For every action, there's an equal and opposite reaction. Forces always come in pairs.
