• Bodies are assumed to have inertia.

• Momentum and force.

Newton’s First Law of Motion

• A body continues in a state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line unless it is acted upon by external forces

Page 8: Physics Beyond 2000 Chapter 2 Newtons Laws of Motion.

Newton’s First Law of Motion

• A body continues in a state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line unless it is acted upon by external forces

The body changes its state of motion underan external force.

Page 9: Physics Beyond 2000 Chapter 2 Newtons Laws of Motion.

Newton’s First Law of Motion

• A body continues in a state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line unless it is acted upon by external forces

The body does not change its state of motionwhen there is not any external force.

Inertia and Mass

• Inertia is a property of matter that causes it to resist any change in its motion or to keep its state of motion.

• Mass of a body is a quantitative measure of its inertia.

• SI unit of mass: kg.

Page 13: Physics Beyond 2000 Chapter 2 Newtons Laws of Motion.

Newton’s Second Law of Motion

• The rate of change of momentum of a body is proportional to and in the same direction as the resultant force (net force) that acts on it.

• Gravitational force– Attraction between two massive particles.

• Electromagnetic force– Electrostatic force: Force between two charged

particles.

– Electromagnetic force: Force on a moving charged particle in a magnetic field.

• Nuclear force– Force between two the particles of the nucleus.
