    Newton's three laws of motion govern how objects move. The first law states that an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. The second law states that the acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object. The third law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

    LECTURE (WEEK 2)

    Newton’s Three Laws of Motion Example 6:


    These laws explain why the things move or behave the way they do

    MELC: infer that when a body exerts a force on another, an equal amount of
    force is exerted back on it

    Newton’s First Law of Motion: Law of Inertia


    NET FORCE =0N NET FORCE =20N

    NET FORCE =2N

    Sample mathematical problem:


    INERTIA - the property of an object to resist change in its state of motion Suppose a ball of mass 0.60 kg is hit with a force of 12 N. Its acceleration will
    be:
    Mass – is the amount of matter in an object a = Fnet ma
    ➢
    Inertia depends on mass = 12N 0.60kg =20 m/s2
    ➢ more mass is harder to push or pull
    ➢ more mass is harder to stop
    If the force is increased to 24 N for the same ball
    Then, a= 24N
    therefore, the more mass an object has the more inertia it has
    0.6kg
    = 40 m/s2

    Example 1:
    The greater the mass of the object the more force is needed to
    make it accelerate.
