    MANIPAL Newtons Laws of Motion

    This document summarizes Newton's three laws of motion: 1) An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force (law of inertia). 2) The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object (F=ma). 3) For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

    Newtons Laws of Motion

    I. Law of Inertia II. F=ma III. Action-Reaction

    Newtons Laws of Motion

    1st Law An object at rest will stay at


    rest, and an object in motion will stay in motion at constant velocity, unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

    2nd Law Force equals mass times


    acceleration.

    3rd Law For every action there is an


    equal and opposite reaction.

    1st Law of Motion (Law of Inertia)

    An object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion will stay in motion at constant velocity, unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

    1st Law

    Unless acted upon by an unbalanced force, this golf ball would sit on the tee forever.

    1st Law

    Once airborne, unless acted on by an unbalanced force (gravity and air fluid friction), it would never stop!

    1st Law

    Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its velocity: whether in motion or motionless.

    These pumpkins will not move unless acted on by an unbalanced force.

    Why then, do we observe every day objects in motion slowing down and becoming motionless seemingly without an outside force?
    Its a force we sometimes cannot see friction.

    What is this unbalanced force that acts on an object in motion?

    There are three types of friction:


    Static friction: initial friction when moving an object Sliding friction: ice skating Fluid friction (air or liquid): air or water resistance

    Slide a book across a table and watch it slide to a rest position. The book comes to a rest because of the presence of a force that force being the force of friction which brings the book to a rest position.

    In the absence of a force of friction, the book would continue in motion with the same speed and direction - forever! (Or at least to the end of the table top.)

    Newtonss 1st Law and You

    Dont let this be you. Wear seat belts. Because of inertia, objects (including you) resist changes in their motion. When the car going 80 km/hour is stopped by the brick wall, your body keeps moving at 80 m/hour.

    2nd Law

    The net force of an object is equal to the product of its mass and acceleration, or F=ma.

    2nd Law

    When mass is in kilograms and acceleration is in m/s/s, the unit of force is in newtons (N). One newton is equal to the force required to accelerate one kilogram of mass at one meter/second/second.

    2nd Law

    2nd Law (F = m x a)

    How much force is needed to accelerate a 1400 kilogram car 2 meters per second/per second? Write the formula F=mxa Fill in given numbers and units F = 1400 kg x 2 meters per second/second Solve for the unknown 2800 kg-meters/second/second or 2800

    Newtons 2nd Law proves that different masses accelerate to the earth at the same rate, but with different forces.

    We know that objects with different masses accelerate to the ground at the same rate. However, because of the 2nd Law we know that they dont hit the ground with the same force.
    F = ma 98 N = 10 kg x 9.8 m/s/s

    F = ma 9.8 N = 1 kg x 9.8 m/s/s

    3rd Law

    For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

    3rd Law
    According to Newton, whenever objects A and B interact with each other, they exert forces upon each other. When you sit in your chair, your body exerts a downward force on the chair and the chair exerts an upward force on your body.

    3rd Law
    There are two forces resulting from this interaction - a force on the chair and a force on your body. These two forces are called action and reaction forces.

    Newtons 3rd Law in Nature

    Consider the propulsion of a fish through the water. A fish uses its fins to push water backwards. In turn, the water reacts by pushing the fish forwards, propelling the fish through the water. The size of the force on the water equals the size of the force on the fish; the direction of the force on the water (backwards) is opposite the direction of the force on the fish (forwards).

    3rd Law
    Flying gracefully through the air, birds depend on Newtons third law of motion. As the birds push down on the air with their wings, the air pushes their wings up and gives them lift.

    Consider the flying motion of birds. A bird flies by use of its wings. The wings of a bird push air downwards. In turn, the air reacts by pushing the bird upwards. The size of the force on the air equals the size of the force on the bird; the direction of the force on the air (downwards) is opposite the direction of the force on the bird (upwards). Action-reaction force pairs make it possible for birds to fly.
