General Physics 1 Lesson-6.1
MOTION AND
APPLICATION
Isaac Newton (a 17th century scientist) put forth a variety of laws that
explain why objects move (or don't move) as they do.
“ 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.
”
2 nd
Law of Motion
The acceleration of an object depends
directly upon the net force acting upon
the object, and inversely upon the
mass of the object. As the force acting
upon an object is increased, the
acceleration of the object is increased.
As the mass of an object is increased,
the acceleration of the object is
decreased.

EXAMPLES OF INTERACTION FORCE PAIRS
“When one object exerts a force on a second object, the second one exerts a force on the first that is equal
in magnitude and opposite in direction.”
IDENTIFYING INTERACTION FORCE PAIRS
The baseball forces the bat to the left; the bat forces
the ball to the right. Together, these two forces exerted
upon two different objects form the action-reaction
force pair. Note that in the description of the two
forces, the nouns in the sentence describing the forces
simply switch places.
