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.
