Key concepts students will learn:

  • Newton's first law describes inertia, which is an object's tendency to resist changes in its state of motion.

  • Newton's second law states that net force is equal to mass times acceleration, or F = ma.

  • Newton's third law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction, which explains the normal force.
