Isaac Newton was

the greatest English

mathematician of his
generation. He laid
the foundation for
differential and
integral calculus.
His work on optics
and gravitation make
him one of the
greatest scientists
the world has known.

Newton First Law

An Object at rest remain at rest and an

object in motion will continue in motion at

constant speed in a straight line in the
absent of a resultant force

According to Newton's first law, an object in motion continues in

motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless
acted upon by an unbalanced force. It is the natural tendency of
objects to keep on doing what they are doing. All objects resist
changes in their state of motion. In the absence of an unbalanced
force, an object in motion will maintain its state of motion. This is
often called the law of inertia

This animation shows that the truck is running

towards the car without the ladder strapped.

The truck hits the car and the ladder which
isnt strapped is more likely to maintain its
state of motion so the ladder slide off the top
of the truck and be hurled into the air

Everyone unconsciously knows the

Second Law. Everyone knows that

heavier objects require more force to
move the same distance as lighter
objects.

Newton's
second
law

The rate of change of momentum of an object

is directly proportional to the resultant force
acting on that object and has the same
direction as the force

F mv-mu/t

Newton's third law

An action and its reaction are always equal in

magnitude but oppositely directed on two

different bodies.
Newtons Three Laws

This is how a rocket works.

The rocket's action is to push down on the

ground with the force of its powerful engines,

and the reaction is that the ground
pushes the rocket upwards with an equal force.

Liner Momentum and its

conservation

The principle of conservation of linear

momentum states that the total momentum
of a closed system of colliding objects remains
constant if no external forces act on that
system

Elastic collisions
The characteristics of an elastic collision are:
a) The total linear momentum of the colliding

objects is always conserved

U1

U2

V1

V2

m1u1 +m2u2 = m1v1 +m2v2

b) The total kinetic energy is conserved

1/2m1u1 + 1/2m2u2 = 1/2 m1v1 +

1/2m2v2

Inelastic Collisions
The characteristics of an inelastic collision are:
a) The total linear momentum of the colliding

objects is always conserved

b) The total kinetic energy is not conserved

U1
U2
V

m1u1 +m2u2 = (m1 +m2)v
