  $\vec{F} =$$m\vec{a}$
• What does Newton's third law state?

  For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction
• What is the significance of Newton's second law?

  It defines force and provides a way to measure it
• What are the properties of forces according to Newton's third law?

  Forces occur in pairs, act in opposite directions, and act on different systems
• How is weight defined in physics?

  Weight is the force of gravitational attraction on an object
• What is the direction of the weight vector?

  Points downward towards the center of the Earth
• What is the relationship between mass and weight?

  Weight is proportional to mass under gravitational attraction

  They established a description of motion and disproved previous theories
• What is the purpose of Newton's laws of motion?

  They control the principles of dynamics and describe motion
• What is the relationship between force and acceleration according to Newton's second law?

  Force is equal to mass times acceleration
• How does the concept of balanced forces relate to motion?

  Balanced forces result in no change in motion
• How does mass affect gravitational force?

  Greater mass results in a stronger gravitational force

  F_g = mg
• What is the significance of the weight vector?

  The weight vector indicates the direction and magnitude of gravitational force
• How does the concept of inertia relate to Newton's first law?

  Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion
• What is the relationship between force and motion?

  Force causes changes in the motion of an object
• What is the role of external forces in motion?

  External forces can change the motion of an object
• How does the concept of acceleration relate to force?

  Acceleration is directly proportional to the net force acting on an object
• What is the significance of the vector sum of forces?

  The vector sum determines the net force acting on an object
• What is the effect of balanced forces on an object?

  Balanced forces result in no change in the object's motion
• How do unbalanced forces affect an object's motion?

  Unbalanced forces cause the object to accelerate or change direction
• What is the relationship between mass and gravitational force?

  Gravitational force is proportional to the mass of the objects involved
• What is the role of gravitational force in the motion of celestial bodies?

  Gravitational force governs the motion of celestial bodies in space

  It states that gravitational force is proportional to the product of the masses
• What is the formula for Newton's law of universal gravitation?

  F = G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}
• What does the gravitational constant (G) represent?

  It is a proportionality constant in the law of universal gravitation
• How does distance affect gravitational force?

  Gravitational force decreases as the distance between objects increases
• What is the significance of gravitational fields?

  Gravitational fields represent the influence of mass on other masses
