Isaac Newton, in full Sir Isaac Newton, [January 4, 1643, New Style],
Woolsthorpe, Lincolnshire, England—died March 20 [March 31], 1727,
London), English physicist and mathematician, who was the culminating figure
of the Scientific Revolution of the 17th century. In optics, his discovery of the
composition of white light integrated the phenomena of colours into the science
of light and laid the foundation for modern physical optics. In mechanics,
his three laws of motion, the basic principles of modern physics, resulted in the
formulation of the law of universal gravitation. In mathematics, he was the
original discoverer of the infinitesimal calculus. Newton’s Philosophiae
Naturalis Principia Mathematica (Mathematical Principles of Natural
Philosophy, 1687) was one of the most important single works in the history of
modern science.
 Newton’s Law of Motion
1. Newton’s First Law:
Every object in a state of uniform motion will remain in that
state of motion unless an external force acts on it. Also
known as inertia.

2. Newton’s Second Law:

The force on an object is equal to its mass times its
acceleration.

3. Newton’s Third Law:

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
 Newton’s First Law of Motion
Every object in a state of uniform motion will remain in that state of motion
unless an external force acts on it.
This means that the object will remain how it
is unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
-If an object is at rest it will remain at rest.
-If an object is in motion it will remain in
motion
If the forces are balanced there will be no
acceleration
 What does Unbalanced force
mean?
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.
 Real life examples of Newton’s
1st Law of motion

1. A soccer ball won’t move until someone

kicks it.
2.In bowling the pin is not moving until a
bowling ball hits it.
3.When you are in an aeroplane you are
not moving but when the planes takes off
you are pushed back.

proportional
to acceleration.
❏The greater the force, the greater the
acceleration.
❏The smaller the force, the smaller the
acceleration.
●Mass is INVERSELY
proportional to acceleration.
❏The greater the mass, the smaller the
acceleration.
 Real life examples of Newton’s
2nd Law of motion
1.A full grocery cart requires more
force to push than an empty cart.
2.A car accelerates faster than a truck,
because truck has a higher mass than
a car.
3.Pushing a child in slide is easier
than pushing an adult. Since the
adult is heavier.
4.A baseball that is thrown with a
greater force will accelerate faster
than the baseball that is thrown

motion
 Newton’s Third Law of Motion
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.
 Real life examples of Newton’s
3rd Law of motion
1.When paddling on a canoe.
2.A swimmer pushes back on the water and
moves forward
3.A cannonball is shot forward and the
cannon goes backwards
4.Sitting in a chair you exert a force on the
chair and it exerts an equal force on you
5.Air is let out of a balloon and it flies
around the room
