1. Newton’s Laws of Motion

2. First Law If there is no resultant force (overall force) on an object, it does not accelerate –it continues to move with constant speed –in one fixed direction –The speed could be zero – i.e. it stays still

3. Second Law If there is a resultant force (overall force) on an object, it does accelerate in the direction of the force –Acceleration proportional to force –More mass, smaller acceleration –Rate of Change in momentum = force OR –Force = change in momentum ÷ time

4. Third Law Forces come in pairs. If A exerts a force on B then B exerts a force on A –Forces are same size –In opposite direction –On different objects (A on B, B on A)
