physics. He developed the theories
of gravitation in 1666, when he was
only 23 years old. Some twenty
years later, in 1686, he presented
his three laws of motion in the
"Principia Mathematica Philosophiae
Naturalis

NEWTON’S LAW
OF MOTION
 NEWTON’S FIRST LAW OF
MOTION

LAW OF INERTIA

Every object in a state of uniform

motion tends to remain in that state of
motion unless an external force is
applied to it.
•This means that • An object at
there is a natural rest will remain
tendency of at rest
objects to keep on
doing what they’re
doing. All object • An object at
resist changes in motion will
their state of remain at motion
motion.
An Object at Rest
An Object in Motion
Balanced Force

Equal forces in opposite

directions produce no motion
Unbalanced Forces
Unequal opposing forces
produce an unbalanced force
causing motion
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 them.
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.
 Inertia Depends on Mass
Some objects have more Inertia than others.

Empty aquarium vs. Full Aquarium. The Full

Aquarium has more INERTIA than the Empty
Aquarium.

The greater the mass of an object, the

greater it's Inertia, the greater the force
required to change it's motion.
Newton’s First Law
(law of inertia)
•MASS is the measure of the
amount of matter in an
object.

•It is measured in Kilograms

Newton’s First Law
(law of inertia)
•INERTIA is a property of an object
that describes how
______________________
much it will resist change to
the motion of the object

mass means more inertia

•more _____ ____
1 st Law
•Unless acted
upon by an
unbalanced
force, this
golf ball would
sit on the tee
forever.
What is this unbalanced
force that acts on an object
in motion?

• There are four main types of friction:

• Sliding friction: ice skating
• Rolling friction: bowling
• Fluid friction (air or liquid): air or water resistance
• Static friction: initial friction when moving an
object
1 st Law
•Once airborne,
unless acted on
by an unbalanced
force (gravity
and air – fluid
friction) it would
never stop!
