1. Newton’s Laws of Motion

2. About Newton Born 1643 - Died 1727
Studied physics, math, astronomy, and alchemy

3. Newton’s First Law Also called the law of inertia
Law: An object in motion will stay in motion and an object at rest will stay at rest unless a net force acts upon it.

4. Newton’s Second Law
The acceleration of an object is equal to the net force on an object divided by its mass.
a=F/m or F=ma
Force = mass x acceleration
Units = Newtons

5. Newton’s Third Law
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Not what goes up,
must come down

6. Momentum Similar to inertia Momentum = mass x velocity p = mv
Units = kg*m/s

7. Law of Conservation of Momentum
Momentum is neither gained nor lost, it is only transferred.
