Force, Momentum and Energy Newton’s Laws of Motion First Law of Motion In the absence of a net force, an object moves with constant velocity An object at rest will remains at rest unless a net force is applied to it. An object in motion will continue to move with the same speed in the same direction unless a net force is applied to it. Examples: Spacecraft does not need to have its rocket engine on all the time to keep moving in space. Air hockey! Second Law of Motion F = m ? a, or, Eamples: Heavy trucks (large m) accelerate very slowly… Sport cars accelerate real fast (0-60 mph in 5 seco
