2
Day 3

Practise

Solve the textbook exercises and extra practice questions. There are 125 questions available for this chapter.

Day 7

Spaced Revision

Come back to Laws of Motion after a week. Use flashcards for quick recall and try past exam questions on this chapter.

What to Focus On

  • Aristotle’s view is flawed.
  • Friction explains why moving bodies usually slow down.
  • Galileo established the law of inertia.
  • Zero net external force means zero acceleration.
  • Uniform motion and rest both correspond to zero acceleration.
  • Normal reaction is a self-adjusting force.
  • Momentum is p = mv.
  • Momentum is a vector quantity.
  • Second law: force equals rate of change of momentum.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

A body needs a force to keep moving with uniform velocity.

If a body is momentarily at rest, the force on it must be zero.

Weight and normal reaction are always an action-reaction pair.
