Newton's first law of motion is often stated as. An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. A football that is stationary will not move unless we kick it. Similarly, the golf ball on the tee does not move unless hit by the golf club.}

If you use the same force to push a truck and push a car, the car will have more acceleration than the truck, because the car has less mass.  It is easier to push an empty shopping cart than a full one, because the full shopping cart has more mass than the empty one.}

The statement means that in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects. The size of the forces on the first object equals the size of the force on the second object. As you sit in your chair, your body acts on the chair with one force, and the chair reacts on your body with yet another force. This is an example of Newton's third law in action. Newton's third law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.}

An object's acceleration is the net result of any and all forces acting on the object, as described by Newton's Second Law. The SI unit for acceleration is meter per second squared (m s). Accelerations are vector quantities (they have magnitude and direction) and add according to the parallelogram law.}]]> 2017-08-23 02:06:49 UTC https://padlet.com/304432/a6vg3q7lpxyz/wish/182232716 304432 https://padlet.com/304432/a6vg3q7lpxyz/wish/182233002 T_{he velocity of an object is the rate of change of its position with respect to a frame of reference, and is a function of time. Velocity is equivalent to a specification of its speed and direction of motion (e.g. 60 km/h to the north). Velocity is an important concept in kinematics, the branch of classical mechanics that describes the motion of bodies.}]]> 2017-08-23 02:08:36 UTC https://padlet.com/304432/a6vg3q7lpxyz/wish/182233002 304432 https://padlet.com/304432/a6vg3q7lpxyz/wish/182233158 I_{nertia is the resistance of any physical object to any change in its state of motion (this includes changes to its speed, direction or state of rest). It is the tendency of objects to keep moving in a straight line at constant velocity.}]]> 2017-08-23 02:10:01 UTC https://padlet.com/304432/a6vg3q7lpxyz/wish/182233158 304432 https://padlet.com/304432/a6vg3q7lpxyz/wish/182233347 G_{ravity, or gravitation, is a natural phenomenon by which all things with mass are brought toward (or gravitate toward) one another, including planets, stars and galaxies, and other physical objects. Since energy and mass are equivalent, all forms of energy (including light) cause gravitation and are under the influence of it. On Earth, gravity gives weight to physical objects, and causes the ocean tides. The gravitational attraction of the original gaseous matter present in the Universe caused it to begin coalescing, forming stars – and for the stars to group together into galaxies – so gravity is responsible for many of the large scale structures in the Universe. Gravity has an infinite range, although its effects become increasingly weaker on farther objects.}]]> 2017-08-23 02:11:19 UTC https://padlet.com/304432/a6vg3q7lpxyz/wish/182233347 304432 https://padlet.com/304432/a6vg3q7lpxyz/wish/182233908 I_{n physics, mass is a property of a physical body. It is generally a measure of an object's resistance to changing its state of motion when a force is applied. It is determined by the strength of its mutual gravitational attraction to other bodies, its resistance to acceleration or directional changes, and in the theory of relativity gives the mass–energy content of a system.}]]> 2017-08-23 02:15:06 UTC https://padlet.com/304432/a6vg3q7lpxyz/wish/182233908 304432 https://padlet.com/304432/a6vg3q7lpxyz/wish/182234077 I_{n physics, a force is any interaction that, when unopposed, will change the motion of an object. In other words, a force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity (which includes to begin moving from a state of rest), i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described by intuitive concepts such as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity.}

Motion is typically described in terms of displacement, distance (scalar), velocity, acceleration, time and speed. Motion of a body is observed by attaching a frame of reference to an observer and measuring the change in position of the body relative to that frame.}]]> 2017-08-23 02:17:09 UTC https://padlet.com/304432/a6vg3q7lpxyz/wish/182234215
