Physics Unit 3 - Newton's Laws of Motion

Newton’s First Law states:

• Whenever one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object also exerts a force on the first object, equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.

• An object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will remain in motion unless acted on by an unbalanced force.

• The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force on the object and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

Newton’s Second Law states:

• Whenever one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object also exerts a force on the first object, equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.

• An object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will remain in motion unless acted on by an unbalanced force.

• The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force on the object and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.
