Newton's Laws of Motion: Adwaith.D Xi-B

This document summarizes Isaac Newton's three laws of motion: 1) Newton's First Law of Motion (Law of Inertia) states that an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. 2) Newton's Second Law (F=ma) defines the relationship between the net force acting on an object and the object's acceleration. It states that force is equal to mass times acceleration. 3) Newton's Third Law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. It explains phenomena such as the backward force exerted on a hand when it pushes on an object.

Newtons First Law


(law of inertia)

An object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in


motion tends to stay in motion unless acted upon by
an unbalanced force.

Balanced Force

Equal forces in opposite


directions produce no motion

Unbalanced Forces
Unequal opposing forces
produce an unbalanced force
causing motion

If objects in motion tend to stay in


motion, why dont moving objects keep
moving forever?

Things dont keep moving forever because


theres almost always an unbalanced force
acting upon them.
A book sliding across a table slows down and
stops because of the force of friction.
If you throw a ball upwards it will eventually slow
down and fall because of the force of gravity.

Newtons First Law

MASS is the measure of the


amount of matter in an
object.

It is measured in Kilograms

There are four main types of friction:

Sliding friction: ice skating


Rolling friction: bowling
Fluid friction (air or liquid): air or water resistance
Static friction: initial friction when moving an object

1st Law
Once airborne,
unless acted on
by an
unbalanced
force (gravity
and air fluid
friction) it would
never stop!

Inertia

Newtons Second Law

Force equals
mass times
acceleration.
F = ma

Newtons Second Law


Force = Mass x Acceleration
Force is measured in Newtons
ACCELERATION of GRAVITY(Earth) = 9.8 m/s 2

Weight (force) = mass x gravity (Earth)

Moons gravity is 1/6 of the Earths

If you weigh 420 Newtons on earth, what will you


weigh on the Moon?
70 Newtons
If your mass is 41.5Kg on Earth what is your
mass on the Moon?

Newtons Second Law

WEIGHT is a measure
gravity

of the force of ________


on the mass of an object

measured inNewtons
__________

Newtons Second Law

One rock weighs 5 Newtons.


The other rock weighs 0.5
Newtons. How much more
force will be required to
accelerate the first rock
at the same rate as the
second rock?
Ten times as much

Newtons Third Law

For every action there is an equal and opposite


reaction.

For every action there rd

Think about it . . .
What happens if you are standing on a
skateboard or a slippery floor and push against
a wall? You slide in the opposite direction
(away from the wall), because you pushed on
the wall but the wall pushed back on you with
equal and opposite force.
Why does it hurt so much when you stub
your toe? When your toe exerts a force on a
rock, the rock exerts an equal force back on
your toe. The harder you hit your toe against
it, the more force the rock exerts back on your
toe (and the more your toe hurts).

Newtons Third Law


A bug with a mass
of 5 grams flies
into the windshield
of a moving 1000kg
bus.
Which will have the
most force?
The bug on the bus
The bus on the bug

Newtons Third Law


The force would be
the same.

Force (bug)= m x A
Force (bus)= M x a
Think I look bad?
You should see
the other guy!

Action and Reaction on Different Masses


Consider you and the earth
Action: earth pulls on you

Reaction: you pull on earth

Reaction: road pushes on tire


Action: tire pushes on road

Reaction: gases push on rocket


Action: rocket pushes on gases

Consider hitting a baseball with a bat.


If we call the force applied to the ball
by the bat the action force, identify
the reaction force.
(a) the force applied to the bat by the hands
(b) the force applied to the bat by the ball
(c) the force the ball carries with it in flight
(d) the centrifugal force in the swing

(b) the force applied to the bat by the ball

Newtons 3rd Law

Suppose you are taking a


space walk near the space
shuttle, and your safety
line breaks. How would
you get back to the
shuttle?

Newtons 3rd Law


The thing to do would be to take one of the tools
from your tool belt and throw it is hard as you
can directly away from the shuttle. Then, with
the help of Newton's second and third laws, you
will accelerate back towards the shuttle. As you
throw the tool, you push against it, causing it to
accelerate. At the same time, by Newton's third
law, the tool is pushing back against you in the
opposite direction, which causes you to
accelerate back towards the shuttle, as desired.

Review

Newtons First Law:


Objects in motion tend to stay in motion
and objects at rest tend to stay at rest
unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
Newtons Second Law:
Force equals mass times acceleration
(F = ma).

Newtons Third Law:


For every action there is an equal and
opposite reaction.
