Newton's Second Law


The rate of change of momentum of a body is directly proportional to the resultant force
acting on the body and is in the same direction.

Formula of Force

When there is resultant force acting on an object, the object will accelerate
(moving faster, moving slower or change direction).

Balanced Force

Net Force = 0

Newton's First Law


When there is no net force acting on an object, the object is either stationary or move with
constant speed in a straight line.
