---|---|
Equal and opposite forces | unbalanced forces |
distance/time | speed |
overall forces acting on an object | net force |
speed with direction | velocity |
inertia | an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion |
acceleration | change in velocity (speed up, slow down or turn) |
force | a push or pull |
Newton's 1st Law | Law of Inertia (an object at rest remains at rest and an object in motion remains in motion unless acted upon) |
Newton's 2nd Law | Force = Mass x Accerleration |
Newton's 3rd Law | Law of Action/Reaction (for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction). |
