This topic covers the concepts of inertia, mass and weight and the relationship between them. The relationship between force, mass and acceleration is then developed. Newton’s laws of motion are used to explain the behaviour of objects moving through the air, and the concept of terminal speed.

Newtons first Law of motion
(law of inertia) states that...
Resultant force
Usually, more than one force is acting on an object, like in a ‘tug-of-war.'
What’s the resultant force here?
What force is needed to accelerate a car with a mass of 1,500 kg at 5 m/s2?
Calculate the force required to accelerate a car of mass 1,300 kg when it accelerates from 0 to 26.6 m/s in 3.8 s
Newton's 3rd law states that 'for every action there is an opposite an equal reaction' or...
When a rifle is fired, how does the size of the force of the rifle on the bullet compare with the force of the bullet on the rifle?
How does the acceleration of the rifle compare with that of the bullet? Explain your answer.
