AP Newton's Laws Review Sheet Newton's First Law (AKA Newton's Law of Inertia) ?Consider an object with no force acting on it. If it is at rest, it will remain at rest; if it is moving, it will continue to move in a straight line at a constant speed? 5 Everyday Forces Weight Fg = mg (direction is always down) Normal Force Fn (direction is always perpendicular to the surface Friction Ff = ?Fn (direction always opposes direction of motion) Applied Force FA (pushing or pulling) Tension FT (direction is always along the string or rope; tensions are equal on either side of a massless, frictionless pulley)

Need Notes?
While we strive to provide the most comprehensive notes for as many high school textbooks as possible, there are certainly going to be some that we miss. Drop us a note and let us know which textbooks you need. Be sure to include which edition of the textbook you are using! If we see enough demand, we'll do whatever we can to get those notes up on the site for you!
