OF MOTION
Quarter 1, Activity 2
THREE LAWS OF
MOTION
1. LAW OF INERTIA

2. LAW OF ACCELERATION

3. LAW OF INTERACTION OR LAW


OF ACTION- REACTION
LAW OF INERTIA (1st Law)
• states that a body will remain at
rest or move at constant velocity
unless acted upon by an external
net or unbalanced force.
Inertia is the property of an object
to resist any change in this state of
motion. The inertia of an object is
affected by its mass. The greater
the mass the greater is the inertia of
an object. A heavy object has
greater inertia that’s why it is difficult
to move.
Elephant has more inertia than a pig.
Which means, it’s harder to change an elephant’s motion that a
pig’s motion.
Moving objects have inertia: they want to keep
moving;
Stationary or stopped objects have inertia: they
want to stay at rest.
More mass = more inertia
Something that is harder to push has more
inertia.
LAW OF ACCELERATION (2nd Law)

 Newton’s Second Law of Motion is the Law of


Acceleration, which states that “the acceleration of
an object is directly proportional to the magnitude of
the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to
its mass”. This means the greater the force applied to
the object the greater is its acceleration. This also
suggest that with the same amount of force, heavier
objects will have less acceleration.
 It can be expressed in equation form as:
Acceleration = Net Force / Mass
a = Fnet / m

This is often rearranged as:


Fnet = mass x acceleration or F = ma
Force is expressed in Newton
(N), one Newton (1N) is defined
as the amount of force required
to give a 1kg mass an
acceleration of 1m/s or one
2

Newton
(1N) = 1kg.m/s 2

FORCE CAUSES ACCELERATION,


WHILE
MASS RESISTS ACCELERATION
 
LAW OF INTERACTION (3rd Law)
Newton’s third law of motion is
the Law of Interaction or Law
of Action – Reaction which
states that “for every action,
there is an equal and opposite
reaction”.
When action A exerts force on B, the reaction is
simply B exerts force on A.

Action: Rocket pushes gas


Reaction: Gas pushes rocket
Action: Tire pushes road
Reaction: Road pushes tire
Newton’s Third Law describes the relationship
between two forces in an interaction.
- One force is called the action force
- The other force is called the reaction
force
- Neither force exists without the other
- They are equal in magnitude but
opposite in direction
- They occur at the same time
(simultaneously)
How Is Newton’s Third Law of Motion Useful in
Our Real Life?
A variety of action-reaction force pairs are evident in nature, and
in our real life. Here are 7 applications of Newton’s third law of
motion:
1.Walking: when you walk, you push the street; i.e., you apply
an action force on the street’s ground, and the reaction force
moves you forward.
2.Gun Firing: when someone fires a gun, the action force pulls
the bullet outside the gun, and the reaction force pushes the gun
backward.
3.Jumping from a boat: the action force is applied on the boat,
and the reaction force pushes you to land. Parallelly, the action
force pushes the boat backward.
4. Slapping: when you slap someone, your hand feels pain and
so does the cheek of the victim. The pain in the cheek is due
to action force, and the pain in the palm is due to reaction force.
5. Bouncing a ball: when a ball hits the ground, the ball
applies an action force on the ground. The ground applies
a reaction force and the ball bounces back.
6. Flight motion of a bird: the wings of the bird push air
downwards as action force, and the air pushes the bird
upwards as reaction force.
7. Swimming of a fish: the fish’s fins push water around it
backward as an action force, and the water applies
a reaction force by pushing the fins forward, thus the fish.
 UNIFORM CIRCULAR MOTION

 *A type of motion of an object in a circular path with a constant


speed but changing direction due to a net force.

 *In a circular motion, the direction of the velocity changes


every point along the circular path. This change in direction is
an indication that the object is accelerating, and the direction of
acceleration is towards the center of the circular path – thus it
is called as Centripetal Acceleration.
*The force pulling an object towards
the center of a circle is called the
centripetal force.
*The force pulling an object away
from the center of a circle is called
the centrifugal force.
