1′ Lecture
• Newton’s Laws of Motion are:
Acceleration (or deceleration) occurs if and
only if there is a net external force.
a = F/m [Note this is a vector eqn.]
The force exerted by a first object on a
second is always equal and opposite the
the force exerted by the second on the
first. F12 = - F21

• Weight is the force of gravity equal to
the mass of the object.
g times
• g =9.80 N/kg
• The force of friction is opposed to the motion of a
body and proportional to the normal force.
• Free body diagrams are sketches of all the
forces acting on a body.

Laws of Motion
1st Law:
An acceleration is caused by a net external
force.
Physics 1710 Chapter 5: Laws of Motion—II
2nd Law of Motion:
a= F /m
Note the vector nature of the equation:
ax= Fx /m
ay= Fy /m

2nd Law of Motion: Implications
The Newton [N]
is the unit of force in SI units.
[F] = [m] [ a ]
[N] = [kg] [m/s/s]

2nd Law of Motion: Implications
• Consider free fall (in the absence of air
resistance):
Weight = F = m g fact #1
F=ma
fact #2
∴ m ag = m g
∴ ag = g

2nd Law of Motion: Implications
When a sheet of paper and a book are dropped
at the same time, what will happen?
Will
(1) the book accelerate faster that the sheet;
(2) vice versa or
(3) will they each accelerate at the same rate?
Why do you think so?

2nd Law of Motion: Implications
• How much force is one Newton?
• How much mass weighs 1 N?
F=mg
1.00 N = mN (9.80 N/kg)
mN = 1.00/ 9.80 kg
mN = 0.102 kg

• What acceleration will one Newton produce on
a mass of one kilogram?
a = F /m
a = 1.00 N /1.00 kg
a = 1.00 m/s2
[ m/s2] = [N ]/[kg]
