Nifty questions in this episode/awesome answers

Q. What puts things in motion?
A. Forces (push-pull)

Q. What is a property of matter?
A. Inertia

Q. What are Newton's Three Laws of Motion?
A. (1) [inertia] A body at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon by 
an unbalanced force. 
(2) [F = ma] Acceleration of a body depends upon its mass and the force
applied to it.
(3) [action-reaction] An action will cause an equal and opposite reaction.

*Good* intro to Newton's Three Laws of Motion! While watching video, 
complete "Class Notes," p. 30, RSLG Ver. 2.0.

Video features segment re: a large apple hanging from a spring scale
(130-g or slightly >1-N); apple flown on airplane in free-fall -- it
becomes weightless! This segment nicely complements "Weighty Questions"
item re:  "weightless" astronauts.

Good lines:
"Life is like a boxcar of inertia."
"Use force, Luke!"
