    Forces cause motion or changes in motion when applied to objects. Newton's first law states that objects at rest will stay at rest and objects in motion will stay in motion with the same speed and direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. Newton's second law says that acceleration is directly proportional to net force and inversely proportional to mass. Newton's third law states that for every action force there is an equal and opposite reaction force.

    Chapter 4Laws of motion

    Force is the act of a push or pull on an object that may cause motion.
    A Force is a vector which requires (magnitude and direction).
    The fundamental forces are
    Gravity, strong nuclear force, weak nuclear force, and electromagnetic forces.
    Newtons First Law: If an object at rest it will remain
    at rest and if it is in motion it will remain in motion
    unless acted on by a net force.
    Inertia: is the tendency of an object to continue its
    current state of motion. Example not using the seat
    belt in a moving car.
    Mass: is a measure of the object’s resistance to
    changes in its motion due to a force.
    The greater the mass of an object, the lesser its
    acceleration aunder the action of a force.
    Newton’s Second Law: The acceleration of an object is
    proportional to the net exerted force on that object.
    
    
    
    ), also 1 N=0.225 lb
    Gravitational force between two masses = . Where G is the
    gravity constant 6.67x N./
    
    Weight is defined as the force of gravity on an object.
    For example, the weight of an object near the surface of
    earth is = , r is the distance between the object and
    the earth center of mass in this case the radius of earth.
    If we set g=  then,
    The weight of a person or an object on the surface of
    earth is = mg
    Calculate g on the moon
    g = G = 6.67 x = 1.6 m/
    An inertial reference frame is one in which newtons first
    law hold.
    Newton’s third law: If object A exerts a force on object
    B, then simultaneously object B exerts an opposite force
    on object A, where the two forces are equal in
    magnitude but opposite in direction.
    “Forces exist in pairs”
    More likely the existence of a single force is not possible.
    It takes two object to tango.
