|

Sir Isaac Newton |
Three laws of motion |
|
|
|
Mass |
The amount of matter in an object |
|
|
|
Weight |
The gravitational force of an object |
|
|
|
Inertia |
The resistance to a change in motion |
|
|
|
1st law of motion |
Object tends to stay at the same velocity unless another force causes it to change |
|
|
|
Gravity |
The pull of one object on another |
|
|
|
2nd law of motion |
Force is equal to an object’s mass and the acceleration of the object |
1. The greater the mass, the greater the force 2. The greater the force exerted in the object, the greater its acceleration will be 3. The greater the acceleration, the greater the force exerted on the object |
|
|
3rd law of motion |
When an object exerts a force on another object, the second object reacts by exerting an equal force back on the first object |
