Laws of Motion
Forces: chapter 11
1st Law

An object at rest remains at rest and an
object in motion maintains its velocity unless
it experiences an unbalanced force.
2nd Law


The unbalanced force acting on an object
equals the object’s mass times its
acceleration:
force = mass x acceleration
F = ma
Calculate the force of…

A block of ice with a mass of 12.5 kg being
accelerated at a rate of 3.5 m/s2
2nd Law continued…



Or, 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
Calculate the rate of acceleration...

of a sailboat with a mass of 655 kg while it
experiences a net force of 895 N
Law of Universal Gravitation



Newton generalized his observations on
gravity in a law now known as the law of
universal gravitation.
Mathematically, the law of universal
gravitation is stated as:
F = G (m1m2 ÷ d2)
Math Skills

The force between a planet and a spacecraft
is 1 million newtons. What will the force be if
the spacecraft moves to half its original
distance from the planet?
Free Fall and Weight



The free-fall acceleration of an object due to
gravity near the Earth’s surface is 9.8m/s2
Weight is equal to mass times free-fall
acceleration
w = mg
Calculate the weight of…

A 65 kg astronaut on the surface of the
moon, where g = 1.6 m/s2
3rd Law

For every action force, there is an equal and
opposite reaction force.
Momentum


Moving objects have momentum.
Momentum is a quantity defined as the
product of the mass and velocity of an object.
Momentum Equation


Momentum = mass x velocity
p = mv
Calculate the momentum of…

a 65 kg skateboarder moving forward at the
rate of 3.0 m/s
