Newton’s laws of motion

4.4

What the syllabus asks of you

  • apply Newton’s laws of motion to the linear motion of a particle of constant mass moving under the action of constant forces, which may include friction, tension in an inextensible string and thrust in a connecting rod
  • use the relationship between mass and weight
  • solve simple problems which may be modelled as the motion of a particle moving vertically or on an inclined plane with constant acceleration
  • solve simple problems which may be modelled as the motion of connected particles.
