Newtons laws of
motion
What are these laws?
First law An object at rest tends to stay at rest
and an object in motion tends to stay in motion
unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
Second law Force equals mass times
acceleration. F = ma.
Third law For every action there is an equal
and opposite reaction.
APPLICATION OF FIRST
LAW OF MOTION
When a running horse suddenly stops, the rider
falls forward.
When a horse suddenly starts moving the rider
falls backward.
We hated carpet with a stick to remove the dust.
Athletes run some distance, before taking a long
jumps .
A man jumping form a moving train may fall
down.
Some Examples from Real
Life
A soccer ball is sitting at rest. It takes an
unbalanced force of a kick to change its motion.
Two teams are playing tug of war. They are
both exerting equal force on the rope in opposite
directions. This balanced force results in no
change of motion.
In outer space, away from gravity and any
sources of friction, a rocket ship launched with
a certain speed and direction would keep going
in that same direction and at that same speed
forever.
Newton's 1
st
Law and You
Dont let this be you. Wear seat belts.
Because of inertia, objects (including you)
resist changes in their motion. When the car
going 80 km/hour is stopped by the brick
wall, your body keeps moving at 80 km/hour
