Newtons Laws: By: Armaan Noorani

Newton's laws of motion are summarized as follows: 1) 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) 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. 3) For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

NEWTONS LAWS

By: Armaan Noorani


NEWTON 1ST, 2ND AND 3RD LAWS OF MOTION.

• 1st Law: An object will not change its motion unless a force acts on it.
• 2nd Law: The force on an object is equal to its mass times its acceleration.
• 3rd Law: When two objects interact, they apply forces to each other of equal magnitude and
opposite direction.
WHAT IS INERTIA?

• Is the resistance of any physical object to any change in its velocity. This includes changes to the
object's speed, or direction of motion.
• An aspect of this property is the tendency of objects to keep moving in a straight line at a
constant speed, when no forces act upon them
WHAT ARE FREE BODY DIAGRAMS?

• In physics and engineering, a free body diagram is a graphical illustration used to visualize the
applied forces, moments, and resulting reactions on a body in a given condition.
FREE BODY DIAGRAM - EXAMPLE 1

• A flying squirrel is gliding (no wing flaps) from a tree to the ground at constant velocity.
Consider air resistance. A free-body diagram for this situation looks like this:
FREE BODY DIAGRAM - EXAMPLE 2

• A rightward force is applied to a book in order to move it across a desk with a rightward
acceleration. Consider frictional forces. Neglect air resistance. A free-body diagram for this
situation looks like this:
FREE BODY DIAGRAM - EXAMPLE 3

• A force is applied to the right to drag a sled across loosely packed snow with a rightward
acceleration. Neglect air resistance. A free-body diagram for this situation looks like this:
HOW CAN NEWTON'S FIRST LAW BE USED TO
EXPLAIN THE EXAMPLES YOU HAVE GIVEN
ABOVE?
• Once we have drawn an accurate free-body diagram, we can apply Newton's first law if the body
is in equilibrium (balanced forces; that is, Fnet=0 F net = 0 ) or Newton's second law if the body
is accelerating (unbalanced force; that is, Fnet≠0 F net ≠ 0 ).
• Basically, we can only apply Newton’s first law if the body is in equilibrium and in other words,
it has to be balanced.
WHAT IS TRANSLATIONAL EQUILIBRIUM?

• An object that is not moving or an object that is


moving in a straight line at a constant velocity would
be considered in translational equilibrium.
• An example of an translational equilibrium is:
A book resting on a table is pushing down on the table
with the force of its weight. The table, in turn, is
pushing back on the book, keeping the book from
falling through the table. Since neither the table nor the
book are moving, this is an example of static
equilibrium. The force of gravity on the book is
perfectly counteracted by the force of the table pushing
on it.
