Study Plan

1
Day 1–2

Learn the Theory

Read the textbook chapter carefully. Note down definitions, formulas and key ideas. Focus on: Force, Motion, and Balanced Forces, Inertia, Mass, and Newton's First Law, Momentum and Newton's Second Law.

2
Day 3

Practise

Solve the textbook exercises and extra practice questions. There are 92 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 Force and Motion after a week. Use flashcards for quick recall and try past exam questions on this chapter.

What to Focus On

  • Force is a push or pull.
  • Force can start motion, stop motion, change speed, change direction, or change shape.
  • Balanced forces do not change the state of rest or motion.
  • Inertia is resistance to change in state of motion.
  • Newton’s first law is the law of inertia.
  • Mass is a measure of inertia.
  • Momentum = mass × velocity.
  • Momentum is a vector quantity.
  • SI unit of momentum is kg m s⁻¹.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Force is needed only to start motion, not to stop or change motion.

Balanced forces do nothing at all.

Action and reaction forces are balanced forces because they are equal and opposite.
