22. Newton’s 1st law of motion “The law of inertia” Inertia resists any changes in motion Every object retains its state of rest or its state of uniform straight-line motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force (bolded print) “The law of inertia” Inertia resists any changes in motion Every object retains its state of rest or its state of uniform straight-line motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force (bolded print)

23. Newton’s 2nd law of motion (see bolded print) Relationship between: Net Force, Mass, & Acceleration Forces can cause accelerations Units = Newtons (N) More force, more acceleration More mass, less acceleration Relationship between: Net Force, Mass, & Acceleration Forces can cause accelerations Units = Newtons (N) More force, more acceleration More mass, less acceleration
