Class Notes

The class notes cover Newton's Laws of Motion, detailing the First Law of Inertia, the Second Law relating force and acceleration, and the Third Law of Action and Reaction. Key formulas include F = m * a and Weight = m * g. Students are assigned exercises and to prepare real-life examples for each law for class presentation.

CLASS NOTES – INTRODUCTION TO PHYSICS

Date: 13/09/2025
Topic: Newton's Laws of Motion

1. First Law (Law of Inertia)


- An object remains at rest or in uniform motion unless acted upon by an
external force.
- Practical Example: A book stays on a table until you push it.

2. Second Law (F = m * a)
- The acceleration of an object depends on its mass and the force applied.
- Example: Pushing a car vs. pushing a bicycle.

3. Third Law (Action and Reaction)


- For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
- Example: Rocket propulsion works by expelling gases downward.

Key Formulas:
- F = m * a
- Weight = m * g (g = 9.8 m/s²)

Summary:
Newton's laws form the basis for understanding classical mechanics and are
essential for engineering, physics, and everyday applications.

Homework:
- Solve exercises 1-5, page 42.
- Prepare a real-life example for each law to present in class.
