Learning Objectives

At the end of the lesson, the student will be able to: 
 
1. Relate the presence of balanced or unbalanced forces to the state of motion of an object. (Newton’s First Law of Motion)
 
2. State the definition of inertia. (Newton’s Second Law of Motion)
 
3. Describe inertia as a property of an object which depends solely on mass. (Newton’s Second Law of Motion)
 
4. Calculate correctly the force, mass or acceleration, given any other two variables in the formula “Force = Mass x Acceleration”. (Newton’s Second Law of Motion)
 
5. Identify the action and reaction force pairs given a physical situation. (Newton’s Third Law of Motion)
 
6. Explain how the action and reaction force pairs cause motion, given a physical situation.
