Newton’s Laws of
Motion
4.1 The Concepts of Force and Mass
1) A force is a push or a pull.
Contact forces arise from physical
contact .
Action-at-a-distance forces do not
require contact and include gravity
and electrical forces.
4.1 The Concepts of Force and Mass
Arrows are used to represent forces. The length of the arrow
is proportional to the magnitude of the force.

4.1 The Concepts of Force and Mass
2) Mass is a measure of the amount
of “stuff” contained in an object.
SI Unit of Mass: kilogram (kg)
Galileo vs. Aristotle
In our experience, objects must be pushed in order to keep
moving. So a force would be needed to have a constant
velocity. This is what Aristotle claimed in his in his series
of books entitled "Physics", written 2400 years ago.
But 400 years ago, another scientist and astronomer,
Galileo, proposed the following thought experiment which
revealed another perspective.
Thought Experiment
Imagine two perfectly smooth ramps connected
together by a perfectly smooth surface. If a ball is let
go at the top of the one ramp, what will happen?

If a ball rolls down one ramp, it
keeps rolling up the other side
until it reaches the same height.

Now repeat that experiment, but make the second
ramp less steep.

external force is necessary.
Galileo vs. Aristotle
It's not that Aristotle was wrong.
In everyday life, objects do need to keep being pushed in order
to keep moving.
Push a book across the table. When you stop pushing, it stops
moving. Aristotle is right in terms of what we see around us
every day.
Force and Motion
It's just that Galileo, and later Newton,
imagined a world where friction could be
eliminated.
Friction represents an
external force acting on the
object, just as your push is
an external force.
Fapplied
Ffriction
In the absence of all external forces, an object's velocity
remains constant. Two equal and opposite forces have the
same effect, they cancel to create zero net force.
4.2 Newton's 1st Law of Motion
Sir Isaac Newton
Galileo's observations
were more fully formed
in 1687 by the 'father of
physics, ' Sir Isaac
Newton, who called this
observation "The First
Law of Motion".
4.2 Newton’s First Law of Motion
An object at rest remains at rest, and an object in motion
remains in motion, unless acted on by a net external force.
In other words, an object maintains its velocity (both speed
and direction) unless acted upon by a nonzero net force.
Having zero velocity, being at rest, is not special, it is just one
possible velocity…a velocity which is no more special than
any other.
4.2 Newton’s First Law of Motion

of all forces acting on that object.
The SI unit of force is the Newton (N).

4.2 Newton’s First Law of Motion
4) Inertia is the natural tendency of an
object to remain at rest or in motion at
a constant speed along a straight line
(constant velocity).
Inertia is the resistance of any physical object to any
change in its state of motion, including changes to its
speed and direction.
The mass of an object is a quantitative
measure of inertia.
4.2 Newton’s First Law of Motion
5) All Newton's laws are only valid in
inertial reference frames
An inertial reference frame is one which is
not accelerating or rotating.
It is a space in which every body remains in a state of rest
unless acted on by an external unbalanced force.
Newton’s First Law is also called Law of inertia
6) Relative Motion
• Relative motion – motion depends on your frame
of reference
• Are you moving if you are sitting 100% still in your
chair??
– YES! The earth is moving and you are on the earth,
so you are moving relative to the other planets, the
sun, etc.
– NO! Relative to the floor, you are not moving
– It all depends on your frame of reference

When a net external force acts on an object
of mass m,
the acceleration that results is directly
proportional to the net force and has
a magnitude that is inversely proportional to

A free-body-diagram is a diagram that
represents the object and the forces that
act on it.

The net force in this case is:
275 N + 395 N – 560 N = +110 N
and is directed along the + x axis of the coordinate system.

the net force on the object?

The second force, F2, acts to the right also, with a greater

First we will define "to the right" as positive.
Then we can interpret our diagram to read:
ΣF = F1 + F2
ΣF
= 20N + 30N
ΣF = 50N to the right
we get the direction from our diagram and from our positive answer,
which we defined as meaning "to the right"

For example: A 5.0 kg object is being acted on by a 20N

We found the net force on the object to be 50N to the right.

That means we can add up all the forces in the vertical direction
and those will equal "ma" in the vertical direction.

And then can do the same thing in the horizontal direction.

F3 = (2kg)(1 m/s )
F3 = 2 N

A force F1 = 50N acts to the right on a 5.0 kg
object. Another force, F2 = 30N, acts to the left.
Find the acceleration of the object:
16
A force F1 = 350N pushes upward on 20.0 kg
object. Another force, F2 = 450N pulls
downward.
Find the acceleration of the object:
17 An object accelerates downward at a rate of 4.9
2
m/s . If the downward force on the object is 500N
and the upward force is 250N, what is the mass
of the object?
4.5 Newton’s Third Law of Motion
Whenever one body exerts a force on a
second body, the second body exerts an
oppositely directed force of equal magnitude
on the first body.
For every action, there is an equal, opposite reaction. This is
another way to state Newton's 3rd Law.
It is important to remember that the forces (or actions) are
always applied to two different objects.
About action and reaction force:
• All forces come in action-reaction pairs
• Action and reaction forces are equal in
size
• Action and reaction forces are opposite
in direction
• They are same type of force
• They acted on different objects
• will never cancel out each other
Newton’s Third Law of Motion
A key to the correct application of the third law is that the
forces are exerted on different objects.
Make sure you don’t use them as if they were acting on the
same object. Then they would add to zero!

4.5 Types of Forces: An Overview
In nature there are two general types of forces,
fundamental and nonfundamental.
Fundamental Forces

3. Electroweak force
4.6 Types of Forces: An Overview
Examples of nonfundamental forces:
Friction force

4.6 Gravitational force,
Weight, apparent weight
and Normal Force
1) The Gravitational Force
Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation
Every particle in the universe exerts an attractive force on every
other particle.
A particle is a piece of matter, small enough in size to be
regarded as a mathematical point.
The force that each exerts on the other is directed along the line
joining the particles.
1) The Gravitational Force
For two particles that have masses m1 and m2 and
are separated by a distance, then there will be
gravitational force acting on each mass by the
other,
4.6 The Gravitational Force
2) Weight – the Force of Gravity
Weight is the force exerted on an object by gravity. Close to
the surface of Earth, where the gravitational acceleration is
nearly constant, weight can be calculated with:
Fg = mg
2
Near the surface of Earth, g is 9.8 m/s downwards.
4.6.2 weight
The weight of an object on or above the earth is the
gravitational force that the earth exerts on the object.
The weight always acts downwards, toward the center
of the earth.
On or above another astronomical body, the weight is the
gravitational force exerted on the object by that body.
SI Unit of Weight: newton (N)

table, the force of gravity is still there; what other force is
there?
FG
Normal Force
An object at rest must have no net force on it. If it is sitting on a
table, the force of gravity is still there; what other force is
there?
The force exerted perpendicular
to a surface is called the normal
force.
It is exactly as large as needed
to balance the force from the
object (if the required force gets
too big, something breaks!)
The words "normal" and
"perpendicular" are synonyms.

Friction
Static and Kinetic Frictional Forces
Friction - A Resistive Force
There are many different types of forces that occur in nature,
but perhaps none is more familiar to us than the force of
friction (Ffr).
Friction is a resistive
force that opposes the
motion of an object.
What does sandpaper
have to do with friction?
Friction is resistance to the relative or
tendency of relative motion between the
object and the contact surface.
Friction - A Resistive Force
Friction is the reason objects stop rolling or sliding along a
surface. It is the reason it is difficult to start pushing a heavy
box along the floor.
There are many different
types of friction:
Friction between solid
objects and air is often
called air resistance.
Friction between two
fluids is called viscosity,
and so on.
Static and Kinetic Frictional Forces
When an object is in contact with a surface there is a force
acting on that object. Frictional force is the component of
this force that is
parallel to the surface.
1) Static Frictional Forces
When the two surfaces are
not sliding across one another
the friction is called
static friction.
Static Frictional Forces
The magnitude of the static frictional force can have any value
from zero up to a maximum value.
fs  f

is called the coefficient of static friction.
4.9 Static and Kinetic Frictional Forces
Note that the magnitude of the frictional force does
not depend on the contact area of the surfaces.
2) Kinetic Frictional Forces
While Static friction opposes the impending relative motion
between two objects.
Kinetic friction opposes the relative sliding motion motions
that actually does occur.
f k   k FN
0  k
is called the coefficient of kinetic friction.
4.7 Static and Kinetic Frictional Forces
4.7 Static and Kinetic Frictional Forces
The sled comes to a halt because the kinetic frictional force
opposes its motion and causes the sled to slow down.
4.7 Static and Kinetic Frictional Forces
Suppose the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.05 and the total
mass is 40kg. What is the kinetic frictional force?
f k   k FN   k mg 


Example:
The force of friction between an object and the surface upon which it is sliding is
8 N. The mass of the object is 20kg.
How much is the object’s weight?
How much is the normal force?
What is the coefficient of kinetic friction?
Example:
The minimum horizontal force to move an object on a surface is 400N. The
force of friction between an object and the surface upon which it is sliding is
360N. The mass of the object is 95kg. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction?
What is the coefficient of static friction?.
4.8 The Tension Force
Cables and ropes transmit
forces through tension.
4.8 The Tension Force
A massless rope will transmit
tension undiminished from one
end to the other.
If the rope passes around a
massless, frictionless pulley, the
tension will be transmitted to
the other end of the rope
undiminished.
Tension Force
The tension in a rope is the same
everywhere in the rope.
If two masses hang down from either
side of a cable, for instance, the
tension in both sides must be the
same.

4.9 Air resistance force--Fair
• special type of frictional force
• oppose the motion of an object
• It is most noticeable for objects that travel
at high speeds
• Usually is speed related.
4.10 Spring force--Fspring
• force exerted by a compressed or
stretched spring upon any object that is
attached to it
• to its rest or equilibrium position
• Hook’s Law-magnitude of the force is
directly proportional to the amount of
stretch or compression of the spring

of the side opposite the hypotenuse. Thus,
sin (60o) = (Fvert) / (1000 N)
Solving for Fvert will give the answer 866 N.
