Linear Kinetics
Newton’s 3 LAWS OF MOTION
govern ALL movement (similar laws for linear & angular motion)
Law of Inertia
A body will maintain a state of rest or of constant velocity unless
acted upon by an external force that can change its state
Law of Acceleration
A force applied to a body causes an acceleration of the body of a
magnitude proportional to the force, in the direction of the
force, and inversely proportional to the body’s mass.
Law of Reaction
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
(equal in magnitude and opposite in direction)
