What to Focus On

  • Force is a push or pull acting on an object
  • Force can make objects move, change speed, change direction, or change shape
  • Force is a vector quantity with both magnitude and direction

  • Balanced forces have zero net force and do not change motion
  • Balanced forces can change the shape of objects
  • Unbalanced forces produce acceleration and change motion

  • Objects at rest stay at rest, objects in motion stay in motion unless acted upon by unbalanced force
  • Inertia is the tendency to resist changes in motion
  • Mass is a measure of inertia - more mass means more inertia

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Newton's First Law means that objects at rest will always remain at rest and moving objects will always keep moving

Heavier objects fall faster than lighter objects

Action and reaction forces cancel each other out, so objects cannot move

Memory Tips

Newton's Three Laws of Motion

Inertia concept and examples

Force equals mass times acceleration (F=ma)

Momentum (p = mv)
