Forces and Motion — Why Things Move (or Do Not)

When a Yangon bus brakes hard, you fly forward. When it accelerates, you sink back. Newton figured out why — 340 years ago.

“

Key Takeaway

Three laws explain all everyday motion. Force = mass × acceleration. Every action has an equal opposite reaction. Friction and gravity are forces that shape our daily lives.

01

State and apply Newton's three laws of motion

02

Calculate force using F=ma

03

Explain friction and its effects on motion
