Newton's Laws of Motion

Newton's Laws of Motion are fundamental principles in Physics that describe the relationship between a body and the forces acting upon it. The Law of Inertia states that an object at rest will remain at rest, and an object in motion will continue to move with a constant velocity, unless acted upon by an external force. Understanding these laws is crucial in Physics as they provide a foundation for analyzing and predicting the motion of objects under various conditions.

Overview

Newton's Laws of Motion are fundamental principles that describe how objects behave when forces are applied. The first law introduces the concept of inertia, explaining that objects will maintain their state of motion unless acted upon by an external force. The second law quantifies the relationship...

Key Terms

Inertia
The resistance of an object to change its state of motion.

Example: A stationary car remains still until a force is applied.

Force
A push or pull acting on an object.

Example: Gravity is a force that pulls objects toward the Earth.

Acceleration
The rate of change of velocity of an object.

Example: A car speeding up from a stop sign experiences acceleration.

Mass
The amount of matter in an object, usually measured in kilograms.

Example: A bowling ball has more mass than a tennis ball.

Net Force
The total force acting on an object after all the forces are combined.

Example: If two people push a box in the same direction, the net force is the sum of their forces.

Friction
The force that opposes the motion of an object.

Example: Friction between tires and the road helps cars stop.
