Newtons three laws of motion 
around us
Newton's laws of motion are 
three physical laws that 
together laid the foundation for 
classical mechanics. They 
describe the relationship 
between a body and the forces 
acting upon it, and its motion in 
response to said forces. They 
have been expressed in several 
different ways over nearly three 
centuries, and can be 
summarised as follows: 
First law: When viewed in an 
inertial reference frame, an 
object either remains at rest or 
continues to move at a constant 
velocity, unless acted upon by 
an external force. 
Secod law: F = ma. The vector 
sum of the forces F on an object 
is equal to the mass m of that 
object multiplied by the 
acceleration vector a of the 
object. 
Third law: When one body 
exerts a force on a second body, 
the second body simultaneously 
exerts a force equal in 
magnitude and opposite in 
direction on the first body. 
The three laws of motion were 
first compiled by Isaac Newton 
in his Philosophiæ Naturalis 
Principia Mathematica 
(Mathematical Principles of 
Natural Philosophy), first 
published in 1687.Newton used 
them to explain and investigate 
the motion of many physical 
objects and systems. For 
example, in the third volume of 
the text, Newton showed that 
these laws of motion, combined 
with his law of universal 
gravitation, explained Kepler's 
laws of planetary motion.
Sir Isaac Newton[ 25 December 1642 – 20 March 1727] was an English physicist and mathematician 
(described in his own day as a "natural philosopher") who is widely recognised as one of the most 
influential scientists of all time and as a key figure in the scientific revolution. His book Philosophiæ 
Naturalis Principia Mathematica ("Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy"), first published in 
1687, laid the foundations for classical mechanics. Newton also made seminal contributions to optics 
and shares credit with Gottfried Leibniz for the invention of calculus. 
The initial stage in the development of classical mechanics is often referred to as Newtonian 
mechanics, and is associated with the physical concepts employed by and the mathematical 
methods invented by Newton himself, in parallel with Leibniz, and others. This is further 
described in the following sections. Later, more abstract and general methods were 
developed, leading to reformulations of classical mechanics known as Lagrangian mechanics 
and Hamiltonian mechanics. These advances were largely made in the 18th and 19th 
centuries, and they extend substantially beyond Newton's work, particularly through their use 
of analytical mechanics. Ultimately, the mathematics developed for these were central to the 
creation of quantum mechanics.
WHY ARE NEWTONS LAWS OF MOTION 
IMPORTANT 
Newton first published his three laws of motion in 1687,& physics 
students have been learning them in class ever since.They are 
important to us because: 
They work around 
They represent mankinds first great success at describing diverse 
aspects of nature with simple mathemitacal formulas. 
They form the most intuitively appealing physical theory. 
They lay the groundwork for later physics development
NEWTONS LAW'S WORK 
Nature has been superseded by special relativity, quantum mechanics, & field 
theory.Newton's law's fail miserably inside molecules & in distant outer space , in 
fact they fail to even exolain some important features of classical 
electromagnetism.However , there's a catch ; all these other theories reduce to 
Newton's laws the realm of everyday's life.For a wide variety of situations, 
Newton's law work just fine.This is why physicists didn't discover any problems 
with them for over two hundred years. Newton's laws can predict the motion & 
interactions of objects well enough to: 
Build & navigate spaceships 
Simulate car crashes 
Measure the mass of the earth & other solar system bodies 
Explain how airplains generate lift 
Improve your athletic abilities 
Nearly everything we experience in dialy life that involves motion can be explained 
by Newton's laws in very accurate ways,& nearly you use in dialy life was designed 
with Newton's laws in mind
NEWTON'S LAWS ARE A TRIUMPH FOR 
HUMANITY 
Newton's laws were not the first mathematical description of the universe.People 
have actually been using math to predict the movement of the planets since 
claudius ptolemaeus developed his model in the second century AD.This system 
was eventually replaced with the Copernican system & even later by Kepler's laws 
However, these systems all had numerous 7 arbitary set of rules.they worked,but 
made very little sense.Newton's laws of motion (along with his law of universal 
gravitation,which gave the appropriate form of the force to use in the second law) 
were able to explain planetary motion with fewer concepts,those same three laws 
applied to things on earth as well. 
Newton also showed that the same laws govern celestial motion & terrestrial 
motion.For all of history until that point,people hadbelieved that the heavens were 
so sacred that they constituted the totally different realm.Newton proved 
otherwise! Newton showed that the human brain was capable of understanding 
deep properties of the natural world.This accomplishment was totally 
unpresedented & it greatly influnced scientific & religious communities
NEWTON'S FIRST LAW OF MOTION 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHw80HXSuAQ
In detail about 1st law 
“ everybody presists in its state of being at rest or of moving straight forwars, 
except insofar as it is compelled to change its state by force impressed” is the 
defination of Newton's first law of motion. 
The ancient greek philosopher Aristotle had the view that all objects have a 
natural place in the universe;that heavy objects wanted to be at rest on the earth 
& that light objects like smoke wanted to be at rest in the sky & the stars wanted 
to remain in the heavens . He thought that a body was in its natural state when it 
was at rest ,& for the body to move in a straight line at a constant speed an 
external agent was needed to continually propel it,otherwise it would stop 
moving. Galileo Galilei ,however ,realised that a force is necessary to change the 
velocity of a body , that is accleration, but no force is needed to maintain its 
velocity.in other words,Galileo stated that,in absence of a force,a moving object 
will continue moving. The tendency of objects to resist changes in motion was 
what Galileo called it INERTIA. This sight was refined by Newton, who made it 
into his 1st law ,also known as the “LAW OF INERTIA”-NO FORCE MEANS NO 
ACCLERATION, & hence the body will maintain its velocity. As Newton's 1st law is 
a restatement of the law of inertia wich Galileo had already described, Newton 
appropriately gave credit to Galileo.
Animated view of 1st law
Examples for inertia of motion 
● A pearson riding a bicycle along a levelled road does not 
come to rest immediately after he stops pedelling.Thus the 
cycle continous to move due to inertia of motion .Finally it 
comes to rest , after travelling some distance, because of 
the friction exerted by the ground.
INERTIA & MASS 
● 
To change the velocity of a body , one has 
to apply force. Consider 2 bodies of 
unequal masses initially at rest. If you push 
the bodies equally hard for equal time 
,both'll start moving .But the lighter one 
starts with larger velocity & the heavier 
one starts with smaller velocity. Thus the 
heavier one has resisted the change of 
more effectively than the lighter one. 
Hence heavier bodies have larger inertia 
than lighter ones. So ,MASS IS A 
QUANTATIVE MEASURE OF INERTIA .
NEWTONS SECOND LAW OF MOTION 
“ THE CHANGE OF MOMENTUM OF A BODY IS A PROPORTIONAL TO THE MOTIVE 
FORCE IMPRESSED ON THE BODY, & HAPPENS ALONG THE STRAIGHT LINE ON 
WHICH THAT IMPULSE IS IMPRESSED.” is the defination of Newton's 2nd law of 
motion. 
Motte's 1729 translation of Newtons Latin continued with newtons commentary on 
the second law of motion , reading ; 
“ IF A FORCE GENERATES A MOTION , A DOUBLE FORCE WILL GENERATE DOUBLE 
THE MOTION, A TRIPLE FORCE TRIPLE THE MOTION, WEATHER THAT FORCE BE 
IMPRESSED ALTOGETHER AT ONCE, OR GRADUALLY AND SUCCESSIVELY .AND 
THIS MOTION (BEING ALWAYS DIRECTED THE SAME WAY WITH THE GENERATING 
FORCE), IF THE BODY MOVED BEFORE IS ADDED TO OR SUBTRACTED FROM THE 
FORMAL MOTION, ACCORDING AS THEY DIRECTLY CONSPIRE WITH OR ARE 
DIRECTLY CONTARY TO EACH OTHER; OR OBLIQUELY JOINED , WHEN ARE 
OBLIQUE, SO AS TO PRODUCE A NEW MOTION COMPOUNDED FROM 
DETERMINATION OF BOTH
GRAVITATIONAL 
UNITS OF FORCE 
● SI unit of force is NEWTON & is denoted by N. 
● IN c.g.s system the unit of force is called DYNE. 
● Newton & dyne are called absolute values of force. 
ABSOLUTE & 
● Gravitational force on an object of unit mass is known as gravitational unit of force. 
● In MKS system, the gravitational unit of force is the KILO GRAM FORCE(kgf).In C.G.S 
system ,the gravitational unit of force is the GRAM FORCE(gf).
LINEAR MOMENTUM 
● The product of mass of a body & its velocity is called LINEAR 
MOMENTUM or simply momentum of the body.If M is the mass of the 
body ,V is the velocity , the momentum of the body is given by ; 
● p=mv 
● Linear momentum is a vector in the direction of velocity. Newton's 
second law can be written in terms of momentum mv-mu divided by t 
● Thus ,the alternate way of stating Newton's 2nd law is : 
● The resultant force on a body is equal to the change in its linear 
momentun per unit time.
TO DERIVE AN 
EXPRESSION FOR FORCE 
A force 'F' acts on a body of mass 'm' for a time 't' & changes its velocity 
from 'u' to 'v. 
The initial momentum of the body =mu 
The final momentum of the body =mv 
The change in momentum of the body in time 't' =mv-mu=m(v-u) 
From Newton's 2nd law, 
force=change in momentum by time = m(v-u), divided by t
IMPULSE OF A FORCE 
When a tennis ball is hit by a player,or when a football, at rest , is 
kicked towards a goal post, a large change in momentum is observed 
in a very short interval. The force exerted by the floor or by the leg , 
acts only during a short period of contact with the ball. In such 
cases, a very large magnitude force acts for a small interval of time. 
Such forces are called IMPULSE FORCE. 
Measurement of the magnitude of impulse force & time during which 
it acts is very difficult. But the product of force & time can be 
determined by measuring change in momentum of the body. 
Ft=mv-mu 
The quantity Ft is called IMPULSE OF FORCE. THE IMPULSE OF A 
FORCE .The impulse of a force applied on a body is equal to the 
change in the linear momentum of the body produced by the force.
NEWTON'S THIRD LSW OF 
MOTION 
“TO EVERY ACTION THERE IS ALWAYS OPPOSED AN EQUAL ACTION : OR THE 
MUTUAL ACTIONS OF TWO BODIES UPON EACH OTHER ARE ALWAYS EQUAL, & 
DIRECED TO CONTRARY PARTS “ is the defination of Newton's 3rd law of motion. 
Newton used the 3rd law to derive the law of conservation of momentum; from a 
deeper perspective ,however , conservation of momentum is the more fundamental 
idea ,& holds in cases where Newton's 3rd law appears to fail, for the first time a 
unified quantitative explanation for a wide range of physical phenomena. 
In quantum mechanics concepts such as force , momentum ,& position are defined 
by linear operators that operate on the quantum state; at speeds that are much lower 
than the speed of light, Newton's laws are just as exact for these operators as they 
are for classical objects. At speeds comparable to the speed of light , the 2nd law 
holds in the original form F=dp/dt
CONTD.......... 
Click to A pair of forces exerted by two bodies on one another is 
called an action reaction pair. The alternate statement of 3rd law is : 
TO EVERY ACTION, THERE IS AN EQUAL & OPPOSITE REACTION 
An example is that of a baloon- 
A baloon forces the air in the downeard direction wgereas reaction to 
this moves the baloon in upward direction.
CONSERVATION OF LINEAR MOMENTUM 
According to Newton's 1st law, a particle remains at rest or moves with a constant 
velocity if the total force acting on it is zero. In this case, linear momentum ,which is 
mass times the velocity ,also remains a constant. Thus, linear momentum remains 
constant in the absence of external force. This is true in case of system of particles 
as well. We define linear momentum of a system as the vector sum of the moments of 
all the particles of the system. Then the law of conservation of linear momentum can 
be stated as followed 
If the net xternal force is on a system is zero , the linear momentum of the system 
remains constant 
If the momentum of some particle is increased ,then the momentum of some other 
particle must decrease to keep the net momentum of the object a constant
EXAMPLE OF ROCKET 
PROPULSION 
The principle of rocket propulsion is based on the 3rd law of motion. 
Rockets eject gases at high pressure through thrir lower ends. The 
escaping gases exert reactional force on the rocket therby 
acclerating the rocket . After complete burning of the fuel, the 
compartment is detached from the rocket. Thus the rocket becomes 
lighter 7 will have a greater accleration

NEWTON'S THIRD LSW OF MOTION “TO EVERY ACTION THERE IS ALWAYS OPPOSED AN EQUAL ACTION : OR THE MUTUAL ACTIONS OF TWO BODIES UPON EACH OTHER ARE ALWAYS EQUAL, & DIRECED TO CONTRARY PARTS “ is the defination of Newton's 3rd law of motion. Newton used the 3rd law to derive the law of conservation of momentum; from a deeper perspective ,however , conservation of momentum is the more fundamental idea ,& holds in cases where Newton's 3rd law appears to fail, for the first time a unified quantitative explanation for a wide range of physical phenomena. In quantum mechanics concepts such as force , momentum ,& position are defined by linear operators that operate on the quantum state; at speeds that are much lower than the speed of light, Newton's laws are just as exact for these operators as they are for classical objects. At speeds comparable to the speed of light , the 2nd law holds in the original form F=dp/dt
  • 18. CONTD.......... Click to A pair of forces exerted by two bodies on one another is called an action reaction pair. The alternate statement of 3rd law is : TO EVERY ACTION, THERE IS AN EQUAL & OPPOSITE REACTION An example is that of a baloon- A baloon forces the air in the downeard direction wgereas reaction to this moves the baloon in upward direction.
  • 19. CONSERVATION OF LINEAR MOMENTUM According to Newton's 1st law, a particle remains at rest or moves with a constant velocity if the total force acting on it is zero. In this case, linear momentum ,which is mass times the velocity ,also remains a constant. Thus, linear momentum remains constant in the absence of external force. This is true in case of system of particles as well. We define linear momentum of a system as the vector sum of the moments of all the particles of the system. Then the law of conservation of linear momentum can be stated as followed If the net xternal force is on a system is zero , the linear momentum of the system remains constant If the momentum of some particle is increased ,then the momentum of some other particle must decrease to keep the net momentum of the object a constant
  • 20. EXAMPLE OF ROCKET PROPULSION The principle of rocket propulsion is based on the 3rd law of motion. Rockets eject gases at high pressure through thrir lower ends. The escaping gases exert reactional force on the rocket therby acclerating the rocket . After complete burning of the fuel, the compartment is detached from the rocket. Thus the rocket becomes lighter 7 will have a greater accleration
