Learning Objective
I can apply Newton's laws of motion to solve problems involving forces.
- 1
Newton's first law describes inertia, which is an object's tendency to resist changes in its state of motion.
- 2
Newton's second law states that net force equals mass times acceleration, or F = ma.
- 3
Newton's third law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction, which explains the normal force.
