Theory
First law of newton which is the law of inertia postulates
that A body at rest remains at rest, or, if in motion, remains
in motion at a constant velocity unless acted on by a net
external force.
 LAW of inertia
A body at rest remains at rest, or, if in motion, remains in motion at a
constant velocity unless acted on by a net external force.
INERTIA the tendency of an object to remain at rest or remain in motion

 LAW of inertia
Relationship of INERTIA with mass and force
Mass is the quantity of matter in a substance; measured in kilograms
force is a push or pull upon an object resulting from the object's
interaction with another object.

step. Then, click the play button and
observe the speed.
7.1 Question: Comparing to step 6, which
speed is faster? Why?

8. Apply 200N of force towards the 200kg

skate board.

8.1 Question: What do you observe? Is

the speed the same with the step 6?
Why?

8.2 Question: What do you think is the 8.3 Question: How about the

Theory
Law of acceleration postulates that the acceleration of an
object as produced by a net force is directly proportional
to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as
the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the
object.
 LAW of Acceleration
The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly
proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the
net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.
Acceleration is the rate at which velocity changes with time, in terms of both
speed and direction. A point or an object moving in a straight line is
accelerated if it speeds up or slows down.
