Newton's Laws: An object will continue in its current state of motion unless acted upon by a nonzero net force. 11. The net force acting on an object is equivalent to the product of the object's mass and its acceleration. For every force there is always an equal and opposite force. Ex. A ball with a mass M is released from a distance h above the surface of the earth. O Apply Newton's 2nd law: Mg -Mg = -Mia equation A Note, there is a very subtle but important difference between the values M and Mi- Mass has two properties: . Mass attracts other mass (this mass is M). 2. Mass is a measure of resistance to acceleration (this mass inertial mass Mi ). Fortunately for us M = M; so the masses in equation A cancel out leaving, g = a If this were not the case different masses would have different accelerations. pg
