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

Newtons 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.
Newtons 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
Newtons Third Law
Whenever an object exerts a force on a second object,
the second object exerts an equal and opposite force
on the first.

Forces & Motion

Home

Free fall = motion under the influence of

gravitational pull only. The acceleration of free fall is
g.
Earths gravitational field strength (g) is 10 N/kg.

< Back Weight is the force due to gravity on an object.

Weight (W) is the product of mass (m) and
Next >
acceleration due to gravity
W = (g).
mg

Forces in equilibrium = balanced forces = resultant

force = 0
(The acceleration of the object is zero)
Unbalanced forces = single force = resultant force
Work = force x distance

Unit is kg m2 s-2 or Joule (J)

All moving objects have kinetic energy (KE) which is

due to motion.
KE = mv2
