Document Summary

What is force: an action that causes mass to be accelerated, a push or pull, a rub or pressure, a blow or impact, gravity. Isaac newton"s 3 laws: objects don"t want to be accelerated because object possess inertia, the force required to accelerate an object is proportionate to its mass. If a force is applied to an object, the object pushes back with the same force: actions force and reaction force don"t have effect on the same objects/ parts of bodies; Mass and acceleration: mass is not a vector, it is a scaler so it only has 1 property, mass has a magnitude measured in kilograms (kg) If (cid:455)ou (cid:449)ere to shoot so(cid:373)ethi(cid:374)g i(cid:374)to the u(cid:374)i(cid:448)erse, a(cid:374)d it (cid:449)ould(cid:374)"t e(cid:374)(cid:272)ou(cid:374)ter a(cid:374)(cid:455) for(cid:272)es a(cid:272)ti(cid:374)g against it (such as friction on earth) it would continue to move in that direction forever.
