NEWTON’S FIRST LAW OF MOTION
Newton's first law of motion (Law of
Inertia) states that an object at rest remains at
rest and an object in motion remains in motion at
a constant velocity unless acted upon by an
unbalanced force.
Balanced forces - are two forces acting in
opposite directions on an object, and equal in
size. Anytime there is a balanced force on an
abject, the object stays still or continues moving
continues to move at the same speed and in the
same direction. It is important to note that an
object can be in motion even if
there are no forces acting on it.
Unbalanced forces - we say unbalanced forces
when two forces acting on an object are not
equal in size. Unbalanced forces can cause an
object to move, a moving object to speed up or
slow down, moving object to stop and a moving
object to change direction.
Inertia- is the resistance of any physical object
to any change in its position and state of motion.
ACTIVITY 1: Use the Venn diagram to compare
and contrast balanced and unbalanced forces.
