Dynamics: Newton’s Laws of Motion
Force:

✓ Force is experienced to push or a pull an object


✓ Contact forces: The force is exerted when one
object comes in contact with another object
✓ An object falls because of the force of gravity
✓ To accelerate an object, a force is always required
✓ Force has direction as well as magnitude

✓ English mathematician, physicist, astronomer, alchemist,


theologian, and author
✓ In the Principia, Newton formulated the laws of motion and
universal gravitation that formed the dominant scientific
viewpoint until it was superseded by the theory of relativity.
✓ Newton built the first practical reflecting telescope and
developed a sophisticated theory of color based on the
observation that a prism separates white light into the colors of
the visible spectrum. Isaac Newton
(25/12/1642 – 20/03/1726)

Dynamics: Newton’s Laws of Motion
Newton’s First Law of Motion

Galileo (1564-1642):
Aristotle (384-322 BC):
✓ A force is required to keep an ✓ It is just as natural for an object to
object moving along a horizontal be in motion with a constant
plane velocity as it is for it to be at rest
✓ The natural state of an object was ✓ If no force is applied to a moving
at rest object, it will continue to move
✓ A force is necessary to keep an with constant speed in a straight
object in motion line
✓ The greater the force on the object, ✓ An object slows down only if a force
the greater its speed is exerted on it = friction

Dynamics: Newton’s Laws of Motion
Newton’s First Law of Motion (Law of Inertia):

Every object continues in its state of rest, or of uniform velocity in a straight


line, as long as no net force acts on it.

Dynamics: Newton’s Laws of Motion
Newton’s Second Law of Motion:

The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting


on it, and is inversely proportional to the object’s mass. The direction of the
acceleration is in the direction of the net force acting on the object.

ΣF=ma

Dynamics: Newton’s Laws of Motion
Newton’s Third Law of Motion:

Whenever one object exerts a force on a second object, the second


object exerts an equal force in the opposite direction on the first.

Weight-The Force of Gravity; and The Normal Force
Galileo claimed that all objects dropped near the
surface of the Earth would fall with the same
acceleration, if air resistance was negligible. The
force that causes this acceleration is called the
force of gravity or gravitational force.

Fg=mg
In SI units g=9.80 m/s2=10 N/kg
Gravitational force

The magnitude of the force of gravity on an object, mg, is commonly called the object’s
weight.

The force exerted by the table is often called a contact force, since it occurs when two
objects are in contact. When a contact force acts perpendicular to the common surface of
contact, it is referred to as the normal force (“normal” means perpendicular); hence it is
labeled as FN.
