Physics Notes

Sir Isaac Newton's three laws of motion describe how objects behave: the first law states that an object remains at rest or in uniform motion unless acted upon by a force; the second law relates force, mass, and acceleration with the formula F = ma; and the third law asserts that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. These laws have practical applications in vehicle safety, spacecraft movement, and sports mechanics.

Physics – Newton’s Laws of Motion

Sir Isaac Newton formulated three laws that describe the motion of objects.

1. First Law (Law of Inertia) An object will remain at rest, or in uniform motion in a straight line, unless
acted upon by a net external force. Example: A hockey puck slides on ice until friction slows it down.

2. Second Law (F = ma) The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on
it and inversely proportional to its mass. Formula: F = m × a Example: If you push a 2 kg box with 10 N
of force, acceleration is a = 10/2 = 5 m/s².

3. Third Law (Action-Reaction) For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Example:
When you jump off a small boat, the boat moves backward.

Applications: • Understanding vehicle safety (seatbelts, airbags) • Spacecraft movement • Sports
