Isaac Newton

Newton’s observation caused


him to ponder why apples
always fall straight to the
ground (rather than sideways
or upward) and helped
inspired him to eventually
develop his law of universal
gravitation.
Newton’s Law of Motion
 1st Law: Law of Inertia
An object that is at rest remains at rest or if
it is in motion continues to be in motion with
a constant speed along a straight line
unless acted upon by an external force.
Inertia - The tendency of the body to
keep moving once it is set in motion
results from a property called inertia.
When you are riding a bus the driver
applies a break then your body moves
forward and then back the reason
behind that is the first law of motion.
 2nd Law: Law of Acceleration
When a net force acts on an object, the
object accelerates in the direction of the
force.

Example: Pushing a cart


It is easier to push an empty
cart in a supermarket than a
loaded one, and more mass
requires more force for an
object to accelerate.
1. What force must act on a
18.45 kg mass to give it an
acceleration of 19.90 m/s2?
2. A force of 11,800 N causes
an object to accelerate at
50.90 m/s2. What is its mass?
 3rd Law: Law of Interaction
To every action, there is an equal and opposite
reaction.
1. A 1,500 kg car starting from rest
attains 25.0 m/s2 in 50 seconds.
What force is acting on it?
2. 2. A force of 240 N is applied to a
mass of 20kg. What is the
acceleration?
3. 3. A force of 1,200 N causes an
object to accelerate at 25m/s2.
what is its mass?
