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
