Forces

Outline

  • Newton’s 1st Law (N1L) – An object at rest, will stay at rest or an object in motion, will stay in motion, unless acted upon by a net outside force.

  • Newton’s 2nd Law (N2L) – a = ΣF/m or ΣF = ma

  • Newton’s 3rd Law – For every action there is an equal, but opposite reaction.
