Newton's First Law and Second Law in 1D: F = ma
Apply Newton's 1st Law (equilibrium when ΣF = 0) and 2nd Law (resultant force ΣF = ma) to linear 1D motion.

Apply Newton's three laws of motion, resolve 2D forces, and model particle equilibrium and acceleration in a plane.
[Understand the concept of a force; understand and use Newton’s first law]
[Understand and use Newton’s second law for motion in a straight line (restricted to forces in two perpendicular directions or simple cases of forces given as 2-D vectors)]; extend to situations where forces need to be resolved (restricted to 2 dimensions)
