Theory & Formula
Newton's Laws & Force
Newton's laws of motion describe the relationship between forces and motion. These fundamental principles form the basis of classical mechanics.
Newton's Second Law
Force equals mass times acceleration. This is the most commonly used equation in physics.
Weight
Weight is the force due to gravity acting on a mass. On Earth, g ≈ 9.8 m/s².
Friction
Friction opposes motion and is proportional to the normal force. The coefficient of friction (μ) depends on the surfaces in contact.
Example
A 10 kg object accelerates at 2 m/s². What force is required? F = ma = (10)(2) = 20 N
\(F = ma = (10)(2) = 20 \, \text{N}\)
