Newton's Laws 1

Forces Introduction

In this section, we will explore some consequences of Newton's first law, which can be stated as, "an object moving with a constant velocity will continue to move with the same speed and in same direction unless an interaction with another object(s) produces a net external force".

FBD & Newton's 2nd Law

Newton's Second Law describes a force as proportional to acceleration, where the mass is the constant of proportionality. Free body diagrams are a method of visualizing and solving force problems.
