**Physics Notes - Page 1**

**Topic: Newton's Laws of Motion**

**First Law (Law of Inertia):**


- An object remains at rest or in uniform motion unless acted upon by an external
force.
- Example: A book on a table stays still unless pushed.

**Second Law (F = ma):**


- The force acting on an object is equal to its mass times its acceleration.
- Formula: **F = ma**, where:
- F = Force (Newton, N)
- m = Mass (kg)
- a = Acceleration (m/s²)
- Example: A heavier object requires more force to accelerate.

**Third Law (Action-Reaction):**


- For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
- Example: When you push against a wall, the wall pushes back with equal force.

**Applications of Newton’s Laws:**


- Seatbelts in cars prevent passengers from moving forward due to inertia in a
crash.
- Rockets launch due to action-reaction forces from expelled gases.
- Sports: Kicking a ball applies force, causing acceleration in the direction of
the kick.

**Key Terms:**
- **Inertia**: The tendency of an object to resist changes in motion.
- **Force**: A push or pull acting on an object.
- **Acceleration**: The rate of change of velocity.

**Formula Derivation Example:**


- If a 10 kg object is accelerated at 2 m/s², the force required is:
- F = 10 × 2 = **20 N**

Understanding these laws is fundamental to mechanics and real-world physics


applications.
