State Newton's first law of motion.
An object at rest will stay at rest and that an object moving with constant velocity will continue to move with constant velocity unless an unbalanced force acts on the object.
1 of 6
What will a resultant force on an object cause?
The object to accelerate in the same direction as the resultant force.
2 of 6
State Newton's second law of motion.
The force needed to accelerate a particle is equal to the product of the mass of the particle and the acceleration produced: F=ma.
3 of 6
Describe what weight is.
The force due to gravity acting on an object is called the weight of the object, and it acts vertically downwards: W=mg.
4 of 6
Describe how to solve problems involving connected particles.
By considering the particles separately or, if they are moving in the same straight line, as a single particle.
5 of 6
State Newton's third law of motion.
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
