In mechanics, his three laws of
motion resulted in the formulation

of the law of universal gravitation.
In mathematics, he was the • He was born quite premature: an

1ST: LAW OF INERTIA
“An object at rest tends to stay at rest and an
object in motion tends to stay in motion with the
same speed and in the same direction unless a
net force acts on it.”
 a push or pull upon an object resulting from the
object's interaction with another object
FORCE  it is a vector quantity with symbol F
 its SI unit is Newton (1 N = 1 kg∙m/)
 it can be measured using spring balance
EFFECTS OF
FORCES
1. gives energy to objects
2. accelerates an object
3. changes the shape of
an object
1ST: LAW OF INERTIA
“An object at rest tends to stay at rest and an
object in motion tends to stay in motion with the
same speed and in the same direction unless a
net force acts on it.”

When forces are
balanced:
1. No movement or
change in movement
occurs
2. Net force is zero
When forces are unbalanced:
1. Some change in
movement occurs
2. Net force is greater
than zero
INERTIA
It is the resistance an object has to a change
in its state of motion.
It is dependent solely on the mass of the

object.
The more massive an object is, the greater is its inertia.

2ND: LAW OF ACCELERATION
“The acceleration of an object is directly
proportional to the net force acting upon the
object and inversely proportional the mass of the
object.”

Contact Forces
Contact Force
- any force that requires physical contact to be
enforced
Friction
Normal force
Tension
Applied
-
Friction
- force that opposes motion between two
surfaces that are touching each other.
- The amount of friction depends on two factors

—the kinds of surfaces and the force pressing
the surfaces together.
Kinds of friction:
Friction
Static—friction between two surfaces that are
NOT moving past each other
Kinetic—the force that opposes the motion of two

surfaces sliding past each other.
Normal force
- the support force exerted upon an object that is
in contact with another stable object.
It is always perpendicular to the surface.
Tension
- the force that is transmitted through a string,
rope, cable or wire when it is pulled tight by forces
acting from opposite ends. The tension force is
directed along the length of the wire and pulls
equally on the objects on the opposite ends of the
wire.
Applied force
- a force that is directly applied to an object by a
person or another object.
Non-Contact
Forces
Non-Contact Force
- force which acts between two objects from a
distance
Gravity
Electromagnetic force
Strong nuclear force
Weak nuclear force
Gravity
- the force of attraction that exists among all
bodies that have mass.
Weight is the pull of gravity on an object due to its

mass.
