was best explained by Sir Isaac Newton in his first law of motion. Basically, the law of
motion is that an object at rest stays at rest and an object continues in motion until an
external force acts on it.
LAW OF ACCELERATION
In the world of introductory physics, Newton's second law is one of the most important laws
you'll learn. It's used in almost every chapter of every physics textbook, so it's important to
master this law as soon as possible.
We know objects can only accelerate if there are forces on the object. Newton's second law tells
us exactly how much an object will accelerate for a given net force.
To be clear, aaa is the acceleration of the object, \Sigma FΣF is the net force on the object,
and mmm is the mass of the object.
The net force on an object is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by the acceleration of
the object
FRICTION
is the force resisting the relative motion of solid surfaces, fluid layers, and material elements
sliding against each other. There are several types offriction: Dry friction is a force that

is a force that keeps an object at rest. It must be overcome to start moving the object. Once an
is a force that acts between moving surfaces. An object that is being moved over a surface will
experience a force in the opposite direction as its movement. The magnitude of the force
depends on the coefficient of kinetic friction between the two kinds of material.

sometimes called rolling friction or rolling drag, is the force resisting the motion when a body
