Mass:
Is the amount of matter in an object, a measure of the inertia of an object, which depends on the amount of matter the object contains
Weight:
is the force of gravity acting o an object.
Inertia:
An object that is in motion stays in motion and an object at rest stays at rest as long as the net forces acting on that object are zero
Newton's 1st Law states:
The law of Inertia
SI unit for force
Newtons (N)
Weight formula:
w=m.g
1 N:
kg x m/s(2)
N/kg
m/s(2)
Force
Push or pull on an object
Vector
Magnitude and direction

What is a net force?
forces combined when they are acting on an object (they can be pushed or pulled)
What do we call it when net forces are zero acting on an object (so there is no change in the object's motion)?
balanced force
True/False: All moving objects are subject to friction.
True
Formula for Newton's 2nd Law of Motion
acceleration= net force / mass or a=f/m
Formula for Momentum
mass x velocity
SI Unit for Momentum
kg x m/s
Newton's Third Law of Motion
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Whenever one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite force on the first object.
(True or False) Force always exist in pairs.
True
(True or False) Only when equal and opposite forces act on the same object do they result in a net force of zero.
True
(True or False) Momentum is a vector
True
Law of Conservation
If no net force acts on a system, then the total momentum does not change.
What is conserved when 2 objects collide in a closed system?
Momentum
