1st LAW Galileo concluded that if it were for friction, an object in motion would keep moving forever.

r. Newtons first law of motion- the law of inertia. Every object continues in a state of rest, or in a state of motion in a straight line and constant speed, unless it is compelled to change that state by forces exerted upon it. Inertia is the resistance an object has to a change in its state of motion. MASS Mass is a measure of inertia. Mass is not the same as volume. Mass is not the same as weight. The mass of an object depends only on the number and kind of atoms in it. Mass does not depend on the location of the object. WEIGHT The weight of the object is the gravitational force acting on it. Weight depends on the location of the object. The net force, which is the vector sum of all forces acting on an object, affects the objects state of motion. When an object is at rest, its weight is balanced by an equal and opposite support force. An object is in equilibrium when it is at rest, with zero net force acting on it. 2ND LAW An objects accelerates changes speed and/or direction-when a net force acts on it. The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it. The acceleration of an object is inversely proportional to the mass of the object. Acceleration equals net force divided by mass. Acceleration is in the same direction as the net force. FRICTION When an object moves with constant velocity while an applied force acts on it, an equal and opposite force , usually friction , must also act to balance the applied force PRESSURE The application of a force over an area produces pressure. When the force is perpendicular to the surface area, the pressure equals the force divided by the area over which it acts. FREE FALL The acceleration of all objects in free fall is the same, regardless of their mass.

When air resistance is present, a falling object accelerates only until it reaches its terminal speed. At terminal speed, the force of air resistance balances the force of gravity. 3RD LAW An interaction between two things produces a pair of forces. Interacting things exert forces on each other. The two interacting forces are called the action force and reaction force. Action and reaction forces are equal in strength and opposite in direction

KEVIN The Kelvin scale, used in scientific work. On this scale, melting ice has a temperature of 273.16 C. To convert Celsius temperature to Kelvin temperatures, simply add 273.16. The temperature of 0.0 K is known as the ABSOLUTE ZERO, the lowest temperature which can be obtained.

SOLIDS In a solid, a metal for example, the particles are atoms, arranged in an orderly array. The atoms are relatively close to one another, and the motion of each atom is restricted by its interaction with other atoms. LIQUIDS In a liquid, the atoms or molecules, are further apart than in a solid, and are not arranged in any special order. There is less interaction between the molecules, and they are free to move in any direction, but as interactions between the molecules are still present, most molecules are confined to the volume occupied by the liquid sample. GAS In a gas, the atoms or molecules are further apart and have little interaction with one another. The motion of these particles is confined by the walls of the containing vessels.
