In HKDSE Physics, force and motion are linked by three core ideas:
<span class="physics-key-term">inertia</span>,
<span class="physics-key-term">net force</span>, and
<span class="physics-key-term">acceleration</span>. This chapter gives you one practical flow:
draw forces, find the net force, then predict acceleration with Newton's second law.
</p>
<h2 id="newtons-laws" class="book-prose__heading">Newton's three laws</h2>
<ol>
<li>
<strong>First law:</strong> if net force is zero, velocity stays constant (including rest).
</li>
<li>
<strong>Second law:</strong> acceleration is proportional to net force and inversely proportional
to mass.
</li>
<li>
<strong>Third law:</strong> forces come in equal and opposite interaction pairs.
</li>
</ol>

<ol>
<li>Choose one object as your system.</li>
<li>Sketch all external forces in a free-body diagram.</li>
<li>Resolve forces by direction and compute net force.</li>
<li>Use \(a = F_{\text{net}} / m\), then connect to motion equations.</li>
</ol>
<h2 id="interactive-force-lab" class="book-prose__heading">Interactive force lab</h2>
<p>
Adjust mass, pulling force, and surface friction. The demo computes friction, net force,
acceleration, and the motion state for a 3-second interval from rest.

<p>
Change initial velocity, acceleration, and elapsed time to inspect
<span class="physics-key-term">v-t</span> and <span class="physics-key-term">s-t</span> behavior.
This connects Newton's second law to kinematics directly.
