Vocabulary
force- simply push or pull
net force- the combination of all the forces acting on an object
inertia - the tendency of all objects to resist a change in motion
Newton's First Law of Motion- An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion at the same speed and direction, unless it experiences an unbalanced force.
Newton's Second Law of Motion - The acceleration of an object depends on the mass of an object and the amount of force applied.
Newton's Third Law of Motion - Whenever on object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite force on the first.
