What to Focus On

  • Force is a push or pull that changes the state of rest or motion of an object.
  • Force can change speed, direction, shape, and size of an object.
  • Balanced forces produce no change in the state of motion (net force = 0).

  • Balanced forces: equal and opposite — NO change in state of motion.
  • Unbalanced forces: net force ≠ 0 — object accelerates or changes direction.
  • Friction always opposes the direction of motion.

  • Newton's First Law: An object stays at rest or moves uniformly in a straight line unless an unbalanced force acts on it.
  • Inertia is the natural tendency of an object to resist a change in its state of motion.
  • First Law is also called the Law of Inertia.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

A moving object needs a continuous force to keep moving at constant velocity.

If two forces are equal and opposite, the object must be at rest.

Heavier objects fall faster than lighter ones.

Memory Tips

Newton's First Law of Motion (Law of Inertia)

Inertia depends on Mass

Balanced Forces — No Change in State

Unbalanced Forces — Cause Change in Motion
