Motion
Equations of motion:v = u + at
v2 = u2 + 2as
s = ut + ½at2
Inertia = tendency of things to resist changes in
motion

Momentum = mass x velocity

Law of Conservation of Momentum
When 2 or more objects act upon each other, their
total momentum remains constant; if no external
forces are acting.
Impulse = changes in momentum = mv – mu
= Ft
Impulsive force = rate of change of

Newton’s Law
Newton’s First Law
Every object continue in its state of rest or motion in
straight line, unless it is compelled to change by
forces acting on it.
Newton’s Second Law
< Back The acceleration of an object is directly proportional
to the net force acting on the object, in the direction
Next > of the net force, and inversely proportional to its
mass.
F = ma
Newton’s Third Law
Whenever an object exerts a force on a second object,
the second object exerts an equal and opposite force
on the first.
