Sir Isaac Newton• Newton built on the
work of scientists such as Galileo.
• Published his works after many years in a book entitles Principia.
• He first had to define force and mass. He then defined his laws of motion.

Newton’s First Law of Motion• Newton’s first law of motion states that
the motion of an object does not change as long as the net force acting on the object is zero.
• Thus, unless an unbalanced force acts, an object at rest remains at rest, and an object in motion remains in motion with the same speed and direction.
![Page 4: Newton's Laws of Motion](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042715/5581382bd8b42a9b098b458e/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Newton’s First Law of Motion• Often called the Law of Inertia. –Inertia is the tendency of an object to
resist a change in its motion.
![Page 5: Newton's Laws of Motion](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042715/5581382bd8b42a9b098b458e/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
First Law of Motion• Ex. Think about being in a moving car
that is involved in a front-end collision. The collision makes the car stop suddenly but what happens to you, the passenger?
• Because you have inertia, you continue moving forward.

Law of Inertia: Crash Tests• What forces act on the crash-test dummy
to slow its forward motion?–Seatbelt: the seatbelt tightens
immediately to slow down the dummy and to absorb energy. –Inflating air bag: the bag exerts a force
that slows down the dummy’s forward motion, absorbing its energy and prevents it from hitting the steering wheel.

Newton’s Second Law of Motion• An unbalanced force acting on an object
affects the motion of an object by causing that object’s velocity to change. –The object accelerates.
• Newton’s second law explains what happens to an object when an unbalanced force acts on it.
• It describes a relationship of the force acting on an object to the acceleration of the object.
![Page 8: Newton's Laws of Motion](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042715/5581382bd8b42a9b098b458e/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Force vs. Acceleration• When you throw a ball, you apply a net
force to it. –Harder you throw it, more it accelerates. –Acceleration of ball is directly
proportional to the net force acting on it. –If you double the force acting on the
ball, acceleration of the ball will double. • THEREFORE…as force increases,
acceleration increases.
![Page 9: Newton's Laws of Motion](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042715/5581382bd8b42a9b098b458e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Mass vs. Acceleration• Newton also learned that the acceleration
of an object depends on the mass of the object. –Mass is a measure of the inertia of an
object and depends on the amount of matter an object contains.
• Ex. Compare hitting a tennis ball then a basketball with the same force using a tennis racket.
• As mass increases, acceleration decreases.

Newton’s Second Law• Second law summarizes, in a
mathematical equation, the relationship of force, mass and acceleration. –Acceleration is equal to the net force
acting on an object divided by the object’s mass.
• Acceleration=net force / mass, or a=F / m• Can be written solving for force:
Force = mass * acceleration, or F = ma

Explore Newton’s Third Law through the lens of an AMUSEMENT PARK
• Amusement Park Physics--Bumper Cars!
![Page 12: Newton's Laws of Motion](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042715/5581382bd8b42a9b098b458e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Newton’s Third Law of Motion• Bumper cars illustrate Newton’s third law.
• The goal is to slam into another car head
on so that it jolts the other driver. • There are two parts
to this collision
however, because the collision causes
your car to
rebound sharply as well.
![Page 13: Newton's Laws of Motion](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042715/5581382bd8b42a9b098b458e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Newton’s Third Law of Motion• A force cannot exist alone. • Forces exist in pairs.• According to Newton’s third law,
whenever one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite force on the first object.
• These two forces are called action and reaction forces.
![Page 14: Newton's Laws of Motion](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042715/5581382bd8b42a9b098b458e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Newton’s Third Law of Motion• The force your bumper car exerts on the
other car is the action force.• The force the other car exerts on your car
is the reaction force.• These two forces are equal in size and
opposite in direction.
Action Force
acting on other car
Reaction Force
acting on your car

Newton’s Third Law• Not all action and reaction forces cause
motion. • You may be wondering why the
action/reaction forces do not cancel and produce a net force of zero.
• The reason is that the action/reaction forces do not act on the same object.
• Only when equal and opposite forces act on the same object do they result in a net force of zero.
![Page 16: Newton's Laws of Motion](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042715/5581382bd8b42a9b098b458e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Newton’s Third Law• Ex. A swimmer uses her arms to push
against the water creating an action force.–action force causes water to move in the
direction of action force. • Water exerts an equal and opposite
reaction force on the swimmer pushing her forward through the water.
• They do not cancel because: –action force acts on the water. –reaction force acts on the swimmer.

Action/Reaction Force Pairs• Scenario 1: A rocket
moves in outer space with gas propelled out the back–Action: Gas particles
are thrust out the back of the rocket–Reaction: The gas
applies a force on the rocket

the person’s foot.
