Introduction Sir Issac Newton discovered
the 3 laws of motion.
1st law(Inertia)
2nd law
3rd law
6
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.
7
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.
8
Newton’s 1st law
9
What does this mean
 Basically, an object will “keep doing what it
was doing” unless acted on by an unbalanced
force.
 If the object was sitting still, it will remain
stationary. If it was moving at a constant
velocity, it will keep moving.
 It takes force to change the motion of an
object.
10
What is meant by Unbalanced
force?
If the forces on an object are equal and opposite, they are said
to be balanced, and the object experiences no change in
motion. If they are not equal and opposite, then the forces are
unbalanced and the motion of the object changes.
11
Two teams are playing tug of war. They are both
exerting equal force on the rope in opposite
directions. This balanced force results in no
change of motion.
A soccer ball is sitting at rest. It
takes an unbalanced force of a kick
to change its motion.
12
Newton’s First Law is also called
the Law of Inertia
Inertia: It is the inability of the body to
change the state of motion and its state of
rest by itself.
The First Law states that all objects have
inertia. The more mass an object has, the
more inertia it has (and the harder it is to
change its motion).
13
Types of Inertia
 Inertia of rest: In it a body can’t change its
state of rest by itself.
 Inertia of motion: In it a body can’t change its
state of motion by itself.
 Inertia of direction: In it a body can’t change its
direction on its own moving in uniform motion.
14
Newton's 1st Law
Sit in car. 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
km/hour.
15
More Examples from Real Life
A powerful locomotive begins to pull a
long line of boxcars that were sitting at
rest. Since the boxcars are so massive,
they have a great deal of inertia and it
takes a large force to change their
motion. Once they are moving, it takes
a large force to stop them.
On your way to school, a bug
flies into your windshield. Since
the bug is so small, it has very
little inertia and exerts a very
small force on your car (so small
that you don’t even feel it).
16
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.
17
Force equals mass times acceleration.
F = ma
Acceleration: a measurement of how quickly an
object is changing speed.
18
Force is directly proportional to mass and acceleration.
Imagine a ball of a certain mass moving at a certain
acceleration. This ball has a certain force.
Now imagine we make the ball twice as big (double the
mass) but keep the acceleration constant. F = ma says
that this new ball has twice the force of the old ball.
Now imagine the original ball moving at twice the
original acceleration. F = ma says that the ball will
again have twice the force of the ball at the original
acceleration.
19
 F = ma basically means that the force of an
object comes from its mass and its acceleration.
 If you double the mass, you double the force. If
you double the acceleration, you double the
force.
 Doubling the mass and the acceleration
quadruples the force.
(2m)(2a) = 4F
So . . . what if you decrease the mass by half? How
much force would the object have now?
20
What does F = ma say?
F = ma basically means that the force of an object
comes from its mass and its acceleration.
Something very small (low mass) that’s
changing speed very quickly (high
acceleration), like a bullet, can still
have a great force. Something very
small changing speed very slowly will
have a very weak force.
Something very massive (high mass)
that’s changing speed very slowly (low
acceleration), like a glacier, can still
have great force.
21
For every action there is an equal and opposite
reaction.
22
For every force acting on an object, there is an equal
force acting in the opposite direction. Right now,
gravity is pulling you down in your seat, but
Newton’s Third Law says your seat is pushing up
against you with equal force. This is why you are
not moving. There is a balanced force acting on
you– gravity pulling down, your seat pushing up.
23
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).
24
SUMMARY
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. 25
SUMMARY
Inertia:
the tendency of an object to resist changes
in its state of motion
Acceleration:
•a change in velocity
•a measurement of how quickly an object is
changing speed, and direction
Velocity:
The rate of change of a position along
a straight line with respect to time
Force:
Push or Pull (strength or energy)
