Newton’s Contributions
• Calculus
• Light is composed of
rainbow colors
• Reflecting Telescope
• Laws of Motion
• Theory of Gravitation
Newton’s First Law
(law of inertia)
An object at rest will stay at rest and an

object in motion will stay in motion
unless acted upon by an external force
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 don’t moving objects keep moving
forever?
Things don’t keep moving forever because
there’s 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.
Newton’s First Law
(law of inertia)
• INERTIA is a property of an object
that describes how
______________________
much it will resist change to the
motion of the object
• more _____
mass means more ____
inertia

• Unless acted
upon by an
unbalanced
force, this golf
ball would sit
on the tee
forever.
1 Law
st
• Once airborne,
unless acted
on by an
unbalanced
force (gravity
and air – fluid
friction) it
would never
stop!
Newton’s Second Law
(law of acceleration)
2
Acceleration is directly proportional to
the Force, but inversely proportional to
object’s mass.
SAMPLE PROBLEM:
1. An object with a mass of 1500 g (grams)
accelerates 10.0 m/s2 when an unknown force
is applied to it. What is the amount of the force?
2. An object accelerates 3.0 m/s2 when a force of
6.0 newtons is applied to it. What is the mass of
the object?
3. An object with a mass of 3.2 kg has a force of
7.3 newtons applied to it. What is the resulting
acceleration of the object?
Newton’s Third Law
For every action there is an equal and

opposite reaction.
Newton’s 3 Law rd
• For every action there is an equal and
opposite reaction.

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).
• 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
• The force would be
the same.
• Force (bug)= m x A
• Force (bus)= M x a

Action and Reaction on Different Masses
Consider you and the earth
Action: earth pulls on you
Reaction: you pull on earth

Action: tire pushes on road
Reaction: road pushes on tire
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
What Laws are represented?
Review
Newton’s 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.
Newton’s Second Law:
Force equals mass times acceleration

(F = ma).
Newton’s Third Law:
For every action there is an equal and

opposite reaction.
1stlaw: Homer is large and
has much mass, therefore he
has much inertia. Friction
and gravity oppose his
motion.
2nd law: Homer’s mass x
9.8 m/s/s equals his
weight, which is a force.
3rd law: Homer pushes

against the ground and it
pushes back.
