Newton's Laws

AB
Gravitythe force of attraction between 2 objects
Inertiathe tendency of an object to continue moving or staying at rest
Frictionthe force of 2 surfaces rubbing together
Forcea push or pull exerted on an object
Newton's Law 1An object in motion stays in motion unless a force acts on it. An object at rest stays at rest unless a force acts on it.
Newton's Law 2An object's acceleration depends on it's mass and the force applied to it (F=ma).
Newton's Law 3For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Example of Law 1A sled continues to move downhill when a child stops to tie her shoe.
Example of Law 2A pitched baseball has more force than a baseball that is tossed.
Example of Law 3A swimmer pushes water back with her arms and her body moves forward.
