1 Newtons Laws

Newtons 1st Law (Galileos Law of Inertia) - A body

set in motion and left undisturbed, will forever continue with that
constant motion. (Becomes obvious in space.)
At rest is just a special case of motion.
All uniform motions are forms of constant velocity.
A net force is required to make a change.

Law of inertia - A body set in motion and left undisturbed, will forever
continue at a constant speed. (Becomes obvious in space.)
Newtons first law - every body continues in a state of rest or uniform
motion in a straight line except when a force acts on it.
(Rest is just a special case of motion.)
Uniform motion and rest are forms of constant velocity.
Requires a force to change motion.
Force push or pull
Agent of change, alters motion
(4 fundamental forces)
Gravitaty, electromagnetic, strong and weak nuclear forces.)
Weight force of gravity.
Easy conversion: a mass of 1 kg = a force of 10 Newtons = 2.2 pounds
Force is a vector. Have to add forces vectorally.
Net force - resultant of all force vectors acting on an object,
decides actual motion.

2nd Law:
The force of gravity acting on an object is commonly referred
to as weight.
(Fnet = ma)
Fg = mg
The force that balances out gravity, when on level ground, is
referred to as the normal force, FN.
FN is always I to the surface.

Ex3) What is its weight on the moon, if gm = 1.67 m\s2 ?

To every action (force) there is an equal and opposite reaction (force).
Force always occurs in pairs, point opposite direction.
If forces always occur in pairs that cancel out, how do things move?
