Guided Notes
Key concepts students will learn:
- •
Newton's first law states that an object in motion stays in motion and an object at rest stays at rest unless acted upon by a force; this is also known as inertia.
- •
Newton's second law can be expressed with the equation F=ma, where F stands for force, m stands for mass, and a stands for acceleration.
- •
Newton's third law states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, meaning forces are equal but in opposite directions.
