Study Plan

1
Day 1–2

Learn the Theory

Read the textbook chapter carefully. Note down definitions, formulas and key ideas. Focus on: 1. Forces and Their Types, 2. Newton's First Law, Inertia, and Mass, 3. Linear Momentum and Newton's Second Law.

2
Day 3

Practise

Solve the textbook exercises and extra practice questions. There are 43 questions available for this chapter.

3
Day 4

Revise & Test

Revise key points without looking at your notes. Take a practice quiz and mark weak areas for another pass.

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

  • Force can change motion, size, or shape.
  • Contact forces require physical touch.
  • Friction, normal reaction, tension, spring force, and collision force are contact forces.
  • Newton's first law is the law of inertia.
  • A body remains at rest or in uniform motion unless an external force acts.
  • Inertia is the resistance to change in state of rest or motion.
  • Momentum is p = mv.
  • Momentum is a vector quantity.
  • SI unit of momentum is kg m s^-1.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Action and reaction forces cancel each other on the same body.

A moving body needs a force to keep moving at constant speed.

Mass and weight are the same thing.
