Study Notes

Newton's Laws of Motion

An object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion will stay in motion at a constant speed and direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass

Dynamics of Motion

Newton's second law can be used to analyze the motion of objects under the influence of forces.
Calculating the acceleration of a falling object, the tension in a rope, or the force required to move an object are all examples of how to use dynamics of motion.
Mechanical advantage is the ratio of the output force to the input force.
Newton's laws of motion provide a framework for understanding the dynamics of physical systems.
