Key Topics to Revise

1

1. Concept of Force and Inertia

  • Force is a push or pull that can change the state of rest or motion of an object.
  • Inertia is the property of an object to resist changes in its state of rest or uniform motion.
  • Inertia depends only on mass — greater mass means greater inertia.
2

2. Newton’s First Law of Motion

  • An object remains at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by a net external force.
  • This law introduces the concept of inertia.
  • A frame of reference where this law holds is called an inertial frame.
3

3. Concept of Momentum and Second Law

  • Momentum is the product of mass and velocity: \( \vec{p} = m\vec{v} \).
  • It is a vector quantity with the same direction as velocity.
  • Newton’s Second Law: The rate of change of momentum is proportional to the net force applied.
4

4. Newton’s Third Law and Impulse

  • For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
  • Action and reaction forces act on different bodies — they do not cancel each other.
  • Impulse is the product of force and time: \( \vec{J} = \vec{F} \Delta t \).
