3 Laws of Motion
3 Laws of Motion
• The tendency of an
object to stay at rest or to
continue moving unless a
force acts on it.
2nd Law of Motion
LAW Of ACCELERATION
•It states that “the acceleration of an
object is directly proportional to the
force applied and inversely
proportional to the mass of the
object”.
•The amount of force needed to move an
object depends on the mass of the object .
• When forces acting on an object are
balanced or equal, there is no motion.
When one force becomes stronger
than the other force, motion takes
place toward that greater force.x
Newton’s Second Law of Motion
• Force = Mass x acceleration
• A force is needed for acceleration
• Acceleration will occur in the direction of the
force.
Acceleration is change in velocity. It is
caused by a force such as gravity.
The amount of gravitational
attraction depends on how far the
objects are and how much mass the
object have.
The faster an object falls, the greater
is air resistance. Air resistance
becomes greater as speed is
increased.
3rd Law of motion = ACTION-REACTION LAW
