This document defines key physics concepts like force, mass, acceleration, inertia and friction. It also summarizes Newton's three laws of motion: 1) Law of Inertia - an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted on by an unbalanced force. 2) Law of Acceleration - the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. 3) Law of Interaction - for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Formulas for force, work, potential and kinetic energy are also provided.

Memorize: Definitions: ~ Inertia at rest – inertia depends on mass. The larger the Force – a push or pull of an object, SI unit = Newton (N). object, the larger the inertia. Net force – is capable of changing the state of motion of the ~ Inertia in motion – inertia depends on the object’s object. momentum. The greater the momentum of an object, the harder it is to stop moving. Mass – originally called a quantity of matter, but later redefined as a measure of inertia. ~~~
Acceleration – rate of change in velocity, SI unit = meters per Laws of Motion
second squared (m/s^2). Law of Inertia - states that, an object at rest remains at rest, Friction – force that is acting upon an object as it passed and an object in motion remains in motion. From this idea, it through it. It resists motion whenever two media are in can be said that an object which is more massive has more contact with each other. inertia or has more resistance to change in motion than a less massive object does. Balanced Forces – has zero net force; thus, it has no Law of Acceleration - states that the acceleration of an object acceleration. is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and is Unbalanced Forces – has a non-zero net force; thus it inversely proportional to the object’s mass. We can state produces acceleration. Newton’s law as ( F net=ma) meaning, net external force = mass X acceleration. Inertia – the tendency of an object to resist change in motion. Law of Interaction - states that “for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.” A force exerted on any object is always exerted back by an equal magnitude of force but in opposite direction. In this law, forces always come in pairs; Formulas: these are called action and reaction forces. F = ma
