Forces
Laws of Motion
1
Newton’s First Law of Motion


An object at rest remains at
rest and an object in motion
maintains its velocity unless
it experiences an
unbalanced force.
Inertia is the tendency of an
object at rest to remain at
rest, if moving, to continue
moving at a constant
velocity.

Newton’s Second Law of Motion





The unbalanced force acting
on an object equals the
object’s mass times its
acceleration.
Force equals mass times
acceleration.
Force = mass x acceleration
F = ma
Force is measured in units
called Newtons.

Newton’s Second Law of Motion



The acceleration of an
object is proportional to the
net force on the object and
inversely proportional to the
object’s mass.
acceleration = force / mass
a=F/m

Gravity



Law of Universal Gravitation
states that all objects in the
universe attract each other
through gravitational force.
F = G (m1 m2/d2)
Gravity depends on:
•
•
Mass of the objects
Distances between objects
8
Free Fall




Free fall is when gravity is
the only force acting on an
object.
Weight = mass x free-fall
acceleration
w = mg
Acceleration due to gravity is
9.8 m/s2
9
Terminal Velocity



Terminal velocity is the air
resistance is equal to the
gravitational force.
When terminal velocity
occurs, maximum velocity is
reached.
A free falling object
accelerates until the object
reaches terminal velocity.
10
Projectile Motion



Projectile motion is the
curved path an object
follows when thrown,
launched, or otherwise
projected near the surface of
the earth.
An object thrown will hit the
ground at the same time that
an object is dropped from
the same height.
Gravitational acceleration is
9.8 m/s2.
11
Newton’s Third Law of Motion




For every action force, there
is an equal and opposite
reaction force.
Forces always occur in
pairs.
Force pairs do not act on the
same object.
Equal forces don’t always
have equal effects.
12
Momentum




Momentum is a property of
all moving objects, which is
equal to the product of the
mass and the velocity of the
object.
Momentum=mass x velocity
p = mv
The Law of Conservation of
Momentum states that the
total amount of momentum
in an isolated system is
conserved.
