When objects are moving in a single direction we may observe that

these objects will eventually come to a stop. According to Isaac Newton,
an English scientist born in 1643 when objects tend to stop because of an
external force exerted to the moving object.
In this section you will develop an understanding of Newton's First
Law of Motion and what forces are involved in moving objects.

Newton’s First Law of Motion
The figure below shows an accident involving a car driver and a
passenger. The car driver suddenly steps on the brakes upon hitting the
barrier. You will notice that the passer on the back seat was thrown
forward the driver seat. What do you think causes this reaction?
The movement of the passenger inside the car is caused by a force
which is measured in terms of his mass called inertia. Isaac Newton
described inertia as a property of an object to retain its original state
when it is at rest or movement.

<http://austindhill.com/tag/inertia/>

From this principle, Newton formulated his first law of motion.

Newton’s First Law of Motion is also called Law of Inertia, according to
him:
“An object at rest tends to stay at rest, and an object
in motion tends to stay in motion, unless acted upon
by an external net force..”

NEWTON’S FIRST LAW OF MOTION

A body at rest remains at rest, or, if in motion, remains in motion at
a constant velocity unless acted on by a net external force. This means
that an object will not move or stop if not acted upon by an external force
such as friction, gravity or any other. Friction is a force that tends to oppose
the motion of an object. Usually, friction is produced when two objects are
in contact with each other due to the molecular attraction of atoms and
molecules which made up all matter.

Our experience tells us that normally moving objects will tend to

stop after some time. This means that an external force acted upon these
objects such as a rolling ball, sliding box and falling leaves. Objects with
greater mass is difficult to stop because the mas is the measure of an
object’s inertia. Consider the picture of a basketball and a boulder as
shown below.

7
 <https://eso.mmo-fashion.com/boulder-giant-mossy/>

It can be noted that it is difficult to move the boulder rather than to

move the ball. It is because the boulders mass is greater than the ball and
therefore gives it more inertia that causes it to stay on its current state of
rest.

“Everybody perseveres in its state of being at rest or of moving uniformly
straight forward, except insofar as it is compelled to change its state by
forces impressed”

-Isaac Newton

1. States Second law of Newton.

2. Determine the relationship between the outside force acting on a
constant mass and the acceleration of the object.
3. Apply Second law of Newton to problem solving.

In the First Law of Motion, you were able to describe how an

object moves when the total outside force on an object is balanced. This
time, we will describe how the object will behave when the external net
force is not balanced. In addition, you will determine and apply the
relationship of Force, Mass and Acceleration.

Answer the following question. Underline your best answer.

1. (Friction, Inertia) the tendency of an object to stay at rest or in motion.
2. (Balanced force, Unbalanced force) the sum of all forces acting on
an object.
3. An object having a greater (force, mass) have a greater inertia.

11
4. The passenger of a moving car is thrown (forward, backward) as the
car suddenly stopped.
5. (Ping pong ball and baseball) are moving at the same speed which
one is more difficult to stop?

Have you observed why Eon car is pushed more easily than an
Isuzu truck? As you can think, the truck has greater mass than the
car so less force is applied to move a car than a truck that has a
bigger mass. But at high speed, a truck crashing a cemented barrier
can cause more damage than a car moving at the same speed. The
truck is bigger compared to a car, it needs a greater force to stop a
truck than a car and during collision the truck experienced a bigger
damage than a car.

Newton’s Second law of motion is known as the Law of

Acceleration. It states that the acceleration of an object is directly
proportional to the total outside force acting on the object and inversely
proportional to the mass of an object.
The direct proportionality between acceleration and force means
that an object accelerates faster when the force applied on it increases.
However, the acceleration decreases when the object’s mass increases
or the acceleration increases if the mass of the object decreases.
The Law of Acceleration indicates that the massive or heavier the
object, the greater the unbalanced outside force needed to change the
objects motion. If more unbalanced external net force is applied to an
object, the greater the acceleration.

Such relationship of acceleration, force and mass can be expressed

mathematically as,

a=F/m

12
 where: a = acceleration ( m / s2 , cm / s2 )
m = mass (kg, g)
F = Force (Newton N, Dynes D)
Note: 1N = 1 kg m / s2
1D = 1 g cm / s2
1N = 100,000 D

From the equation, a = F/m, we can also derive the formula for
computing F and m.

1. What have you observed about the computed acceleration as the

mass of the object increases? decreases?
2. How about the force applied is it affected if the mass increases /
decreases? Why?
3. On what factor does the law of acceleration depend?

The Direction of Acceleration

Imagine a volleyball that is thrown to the right as shown by the Velocity,

V, along a flat floor as shown by Figure A below. At the beginning, you
would imagine that the ball rolls fast then slows down and eventually stops.
For simplicity, let us consider that the ball did not hit any barrier.

Figure A

V V V=0

F F

a a

As the ball rolls on the floor, there is only one force acting on it –
Friction, given by the floor and is symbolized by F on the Figure above.
The force of the hand no longer acts on the ball as the hand is no more in
contact with the ball. The force from the hand was used to change the state
of motion of the ball as required in the First Law of Motion.

14
 In this case, the Total External Force on the ball equals the Friction,
which is directed to the left. This Force is opposite the motion or velocity,
V, of the ball that causes the ball to slow down or decelerate. The
acceleration of the ball is directed to the left also since the Total Outside
Force is to the left. When the Total External Force on an object is the same
as the direction of motion (Velocity) of the object, the object increases in

speed or the object accelerates. In this case, the acceleration, velocity,

and Total External Force have the same direction.

The direction of acceleration is always the same as the

direction of the Total Outside Force.

The Law of Acceleration in various situations

Let us use the Law of Acceleration to analyze and solve more situations.

Sample Problem:

1. A vehicle weighing 1000 N is moving at the velocity of 40 m/s

suddenly stopped at distance of 50.50 m. Calculate the constant
braking force exerted? Determine the direction of its acceleration?
Given: W = 1000 N Vi = 40 m/s

d = 50.50 m Vf = 0 m/s

Unknown: F =? a = direction
m=W/g a = Vf2 – Vi2 / 2d
Formula: F = ma

Solution: m =W / g
m = 1000 N / 9.8 m / s2 but 1N = 1 kg m / s2

m = 102.04 kg

a = Vf2 – Vi2 / 2d

a = 0 – (40 m/ s)2 / 2 (50.50 m)

a = - 1600 m2 /s2 / 101 m

a = - 15.84 m / s2

16
 F = ma

F = (102.04 kg) (-15.84 m / s2)

Answer: F = 1616.31 N

a = Negative direction is opposite to the original motion

a = decreasing / decelerating

Activity 3

equation of Law of Acceleration.

2. Use the GUFSA in solving or answering the problem.
Solve the following Problem:

1.A 75,000 g wooden box accelerate at a rate of 8 m/s2. Calculate the

force exerted on the wooden box?
2.The 100 kg moving object is acted upon by an outside force 50 N
forward with an initial velocity of 1.2 m/s. After 2 s, what is the final
velocity of the object?
3.A force of 20,000 D is exerted to 8 kg concrete table at rest. What is
the acceleration and velocity after 3 s?
4. Calculate the acceleration of a pushcart weighing 98 x 105
Dynes on frictionless tiles if a force of 8N acts on it to left side and
another force of 6N acts to the right side? Determine the direction of
force?

17
 5.A 250 N External net force is exerted to accelerate a moving metal
car from rest to a final velocity of 30 m/s in 15 s. What is the mass of
the moving metal car?

Law of Acceleration is also known as Newton Second Law of Motion.

It tells us that when there is an External net force acting on it, the object
accelerates in direct proportion to the External net force and in inverse
proportion with its mass.

The direction of the acceleration is the same as that of the External

Net Force.

An object decelerates or slows down when the External Net Force acts
opposite the motion of the object. It accelerates when they are of the same
direction.

Based on the Law of Acceleration, the following equations are formed:

a= F/m F = m Xa m = F/a

b. not affected d. inversely proportional
3. A 3500 kg vehicle is travelling at a speed of 60 km/h. What will
be the acceleration of the vehicle if it is stopped in 20 s by a
constant retarding force? What will be its direction?

⚫ State Newton’s third law of motion.

⚫ Identify the action and reaction forces in each situation.
⚫ Explain the behavior of action and reaction forces in a given situation.

19
 A force is a push or pull that acts upon an object as result of its
interaction with another object. As discussed in previous lessons, some
forces result from contact interactions (normal, frictional, tension and
applied forces). Some forces are the result of interaction at a distance.
According to Newton, whenever objects A and B interact with each other,
they exert forces upon each other. When you walk, you push the ground
with your feet backward, in return the ground pushes your feet forward.
The forces exerted on the ground and on your feet are called action and
reaction forces and are the subject of Newton’s Third law of motion.

Identify the following words based on the given statements below.

1. Ability of a body to change in its state of rest or motion.

2. It refers to the overall change in position with respect to a reference

point.

3. It tells how far or how near an object has covered during its motion.

4. A force that opposes the motion of an object.

5. A push or pull which is the product of mass and acceleration of a body.

Newton’s Third Law of Motion

Newton’s Third law of motion helps us understand what happens
when two objects come in contact or interact with each other. If you throw
a stone down into pail of water, what happens? a splash of water goes up.
What causes the splashing up of water?
Newton’s third law of motion will explain the behavior of two
interacting forces. If you throw a small stone into the water, it’s going to
make a small splash. But if you throw a bigger stone, the splash will be big

20
enough. If you tested different sizes of stones, you will find out that the size
of the stone will match the size of the splash of water. In other words, the
action, which is the stone hitting the water, causes an equal reaction with
its splash.
Newton tells us that the size of the action and reaction are the same,
but the direction of these two forces are not the same. In fact, the reaction
is always in the opposite direction. That’s why the stone falling downward
sends a splash going upward. This interaction of forces is explained in
Newton’s third law of motion. The Law of Interaction states that in
every action there is a reaction of equal magnitude but opposite in direction.
The statement means that in every interaction, there is a pair of
forces acting on the two interacting objects. The amount of force applied
to the first object is the same amount of force applied by the second object
towards the first object. Thus, forces always come in pair. These forces
are the action force and the reaction force which are directed on an
opposite direction with an equal amount of force. According to the third law
of motion, If a body A exerts a force on the other body B, then body B
exerts an equal and opposite force on body A.
Mathematically, the Third law of motion can be presented as:

In this experiment you will create a balloon and straw rocket! You
will figure out how to shoot the balloon from the back of your house wall
and hit the house’ front wall. You will do this using a thread line as a

21
track for the balloon to follow. The line must be held steady and may not
be moved up or down during the experiment.

Tape (cellophane or masking) Thread
Procedure:
1. Insert a thread or any string in a straw.
2. Attach one end of the thread/string on the wall and the other end on the
opposite wall with a tape.
3. Blow up a balloon and attach it on the straw using a tape as illustrated
below:

4. The balloon should be let go when the timekeeper yells “Go!” Observe
how your rocket balloon moves toward the opposite wall.

Process Questions:
1. What made your rocket move?
2. How is Newton’s Third Law of Motion demonstrated by this activity?
Which object is accelerating? What provided the force?
3.Draw pictures using labeled arrows to show action and reaction forces
acting on a balloon while it is in motion.

Can you touch an object without you being touched by the object?
Whenever one body exerts a force on a second body, the first body
experiences a force that is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to

22
the force that it exerts. These interacting forces is commonly observed in
nature machines and space. Forces always occur in pairs, and one body
cannot exert a force on another without experiencing a force itself. We
sometimes refer to this law loosely as “action-reaction,” where the force
exerted is the action and the force experienced as consequences is the
reaction.
Consider the illustration below of how action and reaction force take
place in sports. The athlete pushes the track backward, the track exerts an
equal and opposite force on the athlete, pushing him forward.
