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.
