Learning Objective
I can apply Newton's Laws of Motion to explain the movement of objects.
- 1
Newton's first law describes inertia, which is an object's tendency to resist changes in its state of motion.
- 2
According to Newton's second law, net force is equal to mass multiplied by acceleration, or F = ma.
- 3
Newton's third law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction, which explains the concept of normal force.
