Review Newton's 1st law: If no force acts on a body, then the body's velocity cannot change; that is, it cannot accelerate. 1 Newton is that force required to accelerate our standardized mass (1 Kg) at a rate of 1 m.s -2. Mass is simply the characteristic of a body that relates a force on the body to the resulting acceleration Newton's 2nd law: F Free-body diagrams

a g j F ma mg j Even when a mass is stationary on the surface of a table, gravity still acts downwards with a magnitude equal to mg. This leads to the concept of a normal or contact force: for the mass on the table to remain stationary, the table must exert an upward force on the mass so as to exactly balance the force due to gravity.

If we hold the mass in a stationary state, we must supply the force. This is the sensation of weight, i.e. W Fg mg Newtons Friction and tension We will deal with friction next week (chapter 6). Friction is a force that acts parallel to a surface in the opposite direction to any motion.

A taut cord is said to be in a state of tension. If the body pulling on the cord does so with a force of 50 N, then the tension in the cord is 50 N. A taut cord pulls on objects at either end with equal and opposite force equal to the tension. Cords are massless, pulleys are massless and Newton's 3rd law When two bodies interact, the forces on the bodies from each other are always equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. For every "action" force, there is always an equal and opposite "reaction" force; we call these a "third-law force pair."
