Newton's Three Laws of Motion Explained

The document outlines Newton's three laws of motion: the first law describes inertia, the second law relates force to mass and movement, and the third law states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. It also defines various related terms such as gravity, mass, and friction, which are essential for understanding motion and forces. Overall, it provides foundational concepts in physics regarding how objects move and interact.

＊Three laws of motion＊

Newton’s first law was the law of inertia.


It says that an object at rest tends to stay at rest, and an object in motion
tends to stay in motion.
Inertia means 惯性.

Newton’s second law says that when a force acts on an object, the object’s
movement will change. The more mass an object has, the more force it takes to
move it. The greater the force on an object, the greater the change in movement.

Newton’s third law says that for every action, there’s an opposite and equal
reaction. by actions, Newton means forces.

＊Bounce= to (cause to) move up or away after hitting a surface

＊Motion=movement

＊Force=any action that changes the movement of an object

＊Wobble=to (cause something to) shake or move from side to side in a way

that shows poor balance

＊Inertia=an object’s tendency to stay at rest or keep moving at the same

speed and in the same direction until a force acts on an objects

＊Gravity=a force that pulls objects with mass together; gravity is what pulls

objects down toward the center of Earth

＊Catapult=a device that can throw objects at a high speed

＊Mass=the amount of material in an object

＊Accelerate=to change the speed and/or direction of a moving body

＊Momentum/məˈmen.t̬əm/=the amount of motion an object carries

Velocity=the speed and direction of a moving object

＊Thrust=a force that pushes an object in a given direction


＊Friction=a force created when two objects rub together; friction slows

down objects

＊Rolling friction & sliding friction

＊Air pressure=the weight of air pushing against something; sine air is a fluid,

the pressure forces push equally in all directions

＊Centripetal force=the force that pulls an object turning in a circle inward

toward the center
