Newton's Laws, Free-Body Diagrams, & Hooke's Law

What is Newton's First Law?

• The restoring force of a spring is proportional to the displacement of the spring

• An object in motion will stay in motion unless acted on by an external force

• F = ma
  

• For every force, there's a force equal in magnitude but opposite in direction.

What is Newton's Second Law

• F = -kx

• F = ma

• F = mg

• F = mad

What is Newton's Third Law?

• The restoring force of a spring is proportional to the displacement of the spring

• An object in motion will stay in motion unless acted on by an external force

• Object's have a tendency to resist changes in their motion
  

• For every force, there's a force equal in magnitude but opposite in direction.
