Newton’s Laws
of Motion
REVIEW
Background
Sir Isaac Newton (1643-1727) an English
scientist and mathematician famous for his
discovery of the law of gravity also
discovered the three laws of motion. He
published them in his book Philosophiae
Naturalis Principia Mathematica
(mathematic principles of natural
philosophy) in 1687. Today these laws are
known as Newton’s Laws of Motion and
describe the motion of all objects on the
scale we experience in our everyday lives.
“If I have ever made any valuable discoveries, it has
been owing more to patient attention, than to any
other talent.”
-Sir Isaac Newton
Newton’s Laws of Motion
1. An object in motion tends to stay in motion
and an object at rest tends to stay at rest
unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
2. Force equals mass times acceleration
(F = ma).
3. For every action there is an equal and
opposite reaction.
Newton’s First Law
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.
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.
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.
Some Examples from Real
Life
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.
Newton’s First Law is also called
the Law of Inertia
Inertia: the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of
motion
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).
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).
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 it.
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.
In outer space, away from gravity and any
sources of friction, a rocket ship launched
with a certain speed and direction would
keep going in that same direction and at that
same speed forever.
Newton’s Second Law
Force equals mass times acceleration.
F = ma
Acceleration: a measurement of how quickly an
object is changing speed.
What does F = ma mean?
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.
More about F = ma
If you double the mass, you double the force. If you
double the acceleration, you double the force.
What if you double the mass and the acceleration?
(2m)(2a) = 4F
Doubling the mass and the acceleration quadruples the
force.
So . . . what if you decrease the mass by half? How
much force would the object have now?
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.
Newton’s Third Law
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
What does this mean?
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.
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).
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.
