Newton’s 1st Law
If the net force acting on an object is zero, motion does not change.
does not mean there is no motion - just no CHANGE in motion
stopped or constant velocity
Also called Law of Inertia
inertia is the tendency of an object to resist motion in proportion to its mass
objects do not change motion unless an unbalanced force acts upon them.
Balanced forces - net force = 0
object at rest
object maintains constant speed and direction (velocity)
Unbalanced froces (Net force >0)
object speeds up
object slows down
object turns
Newton’s second Law of motion
The acceleration of an object is equal to the Net force acting on it divided by its mass
A = Fnet/M. also F = M x A
If mass increases, acceleration becomes less
If mass decreases, acceleration becomes more
