Newton’s Law of Motion Example:
Introduction
In classical mechanics, Newton's laws of
motion are three laws that describe the
relationship between the motion of an object
and the forces acting on it.
Free fall
-is a motion under the influence or effect of
the gravity. Motion thrown upward and
downward also and those who are released
in rest is also experiencing a freefall.
1. FIRST LAW OF MOTION (LAW OF
INERTIA)
-states that a body at rest will remain at rest
and a body on move keep on moving unless
there is external force acting upon it. Inertial
Frame of Reference is frame of reference or
position where the object stays at rest or in
constant motion unless external force acts
upon it.
-Marathoner Running beyond Finish Line
-A Ball Rolling on the Ground
-A rock at rest
2. SECOND LAW OF MOTION (LAW OF
ACCELERATION)
-states that the acceleration of an object is
directly proportional to the applied force but
inversely proportional to the mass of an
object.
Newton’s 2nd Law of motion can be
described by this equation:
How much force is needed to accelerate a
1400 kilogram car 2 meters per second per
second(m/s/s)
Write the Formula
F=mxa
Fill the given Numbers and Units
F = 1400 kg x 2 m/s/s
Solve the Unknown
F = 2800kg/m/s/s or 2800 N
3. THIRD LAW OF MOTION
( LAW OF INTERACTION)
-states that for every action there is an equal
and opposite Reaction.
-Two forces action and reaction
Example:
-Propulsion of fish through water
-The flight of the bird
-Rowing
Force is a Push or Pull
Types of Force
1. Normal Force
-is a type force exerted in an object that is in
contact with another object. Normal force is
called as supporting force.
For example: apple on the top of the table.
2.Tension
-is a force along the length of a medium like
rope or cable. The Tension is the rope must
equal the weight of supported mass. Derived
form a Second Law of Motion.
T = mg
A 10 kg ball is hanging from the ceiling.
What is the tension force being applied by
the rope in the ball.
3. Friction
-is a force that opposes relative motion
between two systems in contact.
Two Types of Friction:
a. Static Friction -It keeps an object at rest.
b. Kinetic Friction- slows down a moving
object.
KEY TERMS
Classic Mechanics -deals with the question
of how an object moves when it is subjected
to various forces, and also with the question
of what forces act on an object which is not
moving.
Force - push or pull on an object with a
specific magnitude and direction
Free Fall- situation in which the only force
acting on an object is gravity.
Inertia -ability of an object to resist changes
in its motion
Newton – SI unit of force
9.8 m/s/s – acceleration of gravity, free fall
or Earth gravity equivalent.
