KEPLER’S LAWS
The orbits of the planets are ellipses, with the Sun at one focus of the ellipse.
The line joining the planet to the Sun sweeps out equal areas in equal times as the planet travels around the ellipse.

I: NEWTON’S LAWS OF
MOTION
Begin by stating Newton’s laws:
Newton’s first law (N1) – If a body is not acted
upon by any forces, then its velocity, v, remains
constant
Note:
– N1 sweeps away the idea of “being at rest” as a natural
state.
Newton’s 2nd law (N2) – If a body of mass M is
acted upon by a force F, then its acceleration a
is given by F=Ma
Note
– N2 defines “inertial mass” as the degree by which a
body resists being accelerated by a force.
– Another way of saying this is that force = rate of
change of momentum (rate of change of mv).
Newton’s 3rd law (N3) - If body A exerts force F
on body B, the body B exerts a force –F on
body A.
