Newton’s laws of motion

Non-Uniform Motion in Straight Line

When an object travels in a straight line and the velocity varies by different amounts, it is said that the object is in non-uniform Motion. In other words, the rate of change in velocity changes. E.g.:- When a kid plays with balls, firstly, he throws the ball at 6m, in another attempt at 10m, and […]

Non-conservative Forces

Introduction Non-conservative Forces The forces that influence motion are important. Certain forces manifest themselves visibly by altering the speed or direction of motion. Macroscopic motion is converted to microscopic motion by other forces. The law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of a closed system, that is, a system without any external

Newton’s Third Law of Motion

Introduction Newton’s laws of motion were initially published in Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica, commonly referred to as the ‘Principia’, 1687. Newton developed the laws of motion to explain the elliptical shape of the planetary orbits. They proved to be of great scientific importance for centuries after. Newton’s Laws of Motion Newton’s first law explains inertia:

Newton’s second law of motion

Introduction Newton’s second law of motion relates to the behaviour of the objects in which all the forces are unbalanced. The law states that the acceleration of the object depends on two variables: force on the object and the mass of the object The acceleration and the force are directly proportional to each other. This

Newton’s Second Law

Newton’s second law of motion, also known as the law of acceleration, states that the magnitude of the force acting on an object is equal to the product of that particular object’s mass and the acceleration at which it is moving. This means that the acceleration generated in a body is directly proportional to the

Newton’s Law of Motion

Newton’s Law of motion are the three physical laws that are the most important aspects to understand the science of kinematics. These three Newton’s Laws describe the relationship between the movement of an object and the force acting on it. They are essential because they form the basis of classical mechanics, one of the main

Newton’s First Law of Motion

In the 17th century, Sir Isaac Newton published three laws pertaining to the motion of objects. The first law of Newton is an introduction of the object and the force acting on it. Mainly, Newton’s first law of motion deals with the motion of an object and its relation to force. Sir Isaac Newton’s laws

Newton’s First Law

Sir Isaac Newton first presented his three laws of motion in 1686 in Principia Mathematica Philosophiae Naturalis. His first law states that any object, whether at rest or in uniform motion, will remain in a straight line unless compelled to change its state by the action of an external force. This is usually used as

Nature of Physical Laws

When we speak of natural laws or the laws of physics, we are dealing with state facts, which are derived from verifications with the scientific method. In other words, the laws of physics are born out of empirical observations. In other words, the laws of physics help to describe the behaviour of the world around
