Fundamental Laws and Conservation Principles
- Newton’s First Law: An object stays in uniform motion unless a net force acts (if net force = 0, motion remains unchanged).
- Newton’s Second Law: Acceleration is proportional to net force and inversely proportional to mass.
- Newton’s Third Law: Forces come in equal and opposite pairs (action and reaction).
- Conservation of Energy: Total mechanical energy remains constant if no non-conservative forces act.
- Conservation of Momentum: Total momentum stays constant
