a = F/m
is EQUAL in magnitude
(and opposite in direction) to
Force on object b from object a
• #4: Weight:
= F
R= F1+ F2 + F3+
Mathematically,
“A body acted on by
zero net force moves
with constant velocity
and zero
acceleration.”
• An object in uniform
circular motion is
accelerated toward
the center of the
circle.
• So net force on
object must point
toward the center of
the circle.
• |a | = F/m
