Newton's 3 Laws of Motion

• Inertia


  • Moving objects don't spontaneously speed up, slow down, or change direction
  • You have to overcome inertia to get an object moving
  • An object stays still unless someone/something moves it
  • Objects remain still or in motion unless a force acts upon it
• Force


  Product of Mass x Acceleration<|>Allows you to overcome inertia<|>Must be applied to cause an object accelerate or speed up<|>The more force you applied, the quicker you accelerate<|>The heavier an object, the more force it needs to move or accelerate
• Action-Reaction Pair


  For every action, there is an opposite reaction<|>If you exert force on an object, it causes a reaction of equal & opposite force
