Class Notes:

Newton’s 1st Law

  1. 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

  2. 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.

  3. Balanced forces - net force = 0

    • object at rest

    • object maintains constant speed and direction (velocity)

  4. Unbalanced froces (Net force >0)

    • object speeds up

    • object slows down

    • object turns

Newton’s second Law of motion

  1. 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
