What to Focus On
- Force is an external effort in the form of push or pull.
- Contact forces act only when bodies are in contact.
- Non-contact forces act without physical contact.
- Inertia is resistance to change in state of motion.
- Mass measures inertia in linear motion.
- There are three types of inertia: rest, motion, and direction.
- First law describes the natural tendency of a body to preserve its state.
- It is called the law of inertia.
- It gives a qualitative definition of force.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Action and reaction forces cancel each other because they are equal and opposite.
A heavier body always falls faster than a lighter body.
Force is needed to keep a body moving with constant velocity in a straight line.
Memory Tips
Force as push or pull
