First Law of Motion
Object at rest stays at rest, object in
motion
stays in
motion
unless acted upon by an external force
F = ma
Force equals mass times acceleration
Newton's Third Law
Every action has an
equal
and
opposite
reaction
Inertia
Objects tend to
maintain
their state of
motion
unless acted upon by an external
force
Force and Acceleration
Force equals
mass
times
acceleration
Action and
Reaction
Forces
For every action, there is an
equal
and
opposite
reaction
Force
A push or pull that can cause an object to change its
motion
, measured in
Newtons
Tension Force
A force that arises from
stretched
or
compressed
materials
Energy
The
ability
to do work, comes in various
forms
Work
The
transfer
of
energy
from one object to another, measured in Joules (J)
Kinetic Energy
Energy of
motion
, depends on velocity and
mass
Conservation of
Momentum
Momentum
is conserved during
collisions
Momentum
The product of an object's
mass
and velocity, measured in
kg.m/s
Center of Mass
The
average
position of an object's
mass
Torque
A measure of the
twisting
force on an object, measured in
N.m
Rotational Dynamics
The study of the forces that cause an object to
rotate
around a
fixed
axis
Angular Acceleration
The rate of change of angular
velocity
Angular Velocity
The rate of
change
of
angular displacement
Angular Displacement
The total amount of
rotation
around the axis
