Newton’s Laws of
Motion
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 Philosophies
Naturalist Principia Mathematic
(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.
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.
Vocabulary
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, direction or both.
Velocity: the rate of change of position
along straight line with time.
Force: strength or energy
