Newton's First Law

An object remains at rest or in uniform motion unless acted upon by an external, unbalanced influence.

Uniform Motion

Motion at a constant speed in a straight line.

Mass

The amount of matter in an object, influencing its resistance to changes in motion.

Inertia

The tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.

Study Notes

Newton's Laws of Motion

  • First Law of Motion: An object remains at rest or in uniform motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced FORCE. This principle emphasizes the concept of INERTIA.
  • Uniform Motion: Describes an object moving at a constant velocity, maintaining both speed and direction.
  • Mass and Force: Greater MASS of an object requires more force to initiate its motion, affirming the relationship between mass and the force needed for acceleration.
  • Second Law of Motion: Known as the law of ACCELERATION, it states acceleration is INVERSELY proportional to the mass of an object when a constant force is applied.
  • Acceleration with Mass Change: If the force remains constant and mass is doubled, the resulting acceleration is HALVED.
  • Third Law of Motion: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction, meaning forces are EQUAL in MAGNITUDE but opposite in direction.
  • Action and Reaction: The reaction force opposes the action force and is always equal in size, demonstrating that every force results in a counteracting force.
  • Law of Interaction: Refers to the third law, emphasizing the interplay of forces acting on different bodies.

Everyday Situations Illustrating Laws of Motion

  • Situation 1: An adult can throw a ball faster than a child due to the ability to exert more force, demonstrating the Second Law of Motion.
  • Situation 2: A rocket in space maintains its speed in the absence of external forces, illustrating the First Law of Motion.
  • Situation 3: A ball rolling up a hill slows down and rolls back due to gravitational and frictional forces, exemplifying the First Law of Motion.
  • Situation 4: A sailboat speeds up as wind increases, which represents the Second Law of Motion, as additional force results in greater acceleration.
