Learning Objective

I can apply Newton's laws of motion to explain the movement of objects.

  • 1

    Newton's first law, also known as the law of inertia, states that an object will maintain its state of motion unless acted upon by an external force.

  • 2

    Newton's second law can be expressed as the equation F = ma, where F represents force, m represents mass, and a represents acceleration.

  • 3

    Newton's third law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction, and these forces act on different objects.
