Learning Objective

I can use Newton's laws to describe and predict the motion of objects.

  • 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 is equal to 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.
