Newton’s Law Of Motion

The foundation of dynamics is Newton’s laws of motion. In essence, these laws demonstrate the breadth and simplicity of the principles under which nature functions. Furthermore, they are universal laws that apply to similar circumstances both on Earth and in space. A monumental work by Isaac Newton was published in 1687, Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica. In it, scientific laws were proposed that are still used today when describing object motion.He laid out the whole foundation of classical mechanics in this volume, including his theory of universal gravitation.

Newton’s Three Laws Of Motion:

• A force must act upon an object in order for its motion to change according to Newton’s First Law of Motion. This is known as inertia.
• The second law of motion defines acceleration, force and mass as a function of acceleration.
• Whenever a force is applied between two objects, a force is applied back to the original object. This principle is known as Newton’s Third Law of Motion. As a result, when you pull on a rope, the rope also pulls back on you.

Newton’s First Law of Motion

Unless an outside force acts upon an object to change its state, Newton’s First Law states that any object at rest or in uniform motion will remain in that state. The statement may also be interpreted as a statement about inertia, which states that objects will remain in their state of motion unless a force changes their direction.

• As defined by Newton’s formulation, bodies that are not pushed tend to come to rest due to forces operating on them that are unbalanced, such as friction and air resistance. Newton’s first law of motion has numerous other applications:
• By striking a hard surface with the bottom of the handle, the head of a hammer can be tightened onto the handle.
• Ketchup is often dislodged from the bottom of ketchup bottles by turning them upside down and thrusting them downward at high speeds, then quickly stopping abruptly. 
• A skateboarder (or cyclist) can flee off the board when hitting a curb, rock or other object that suddenly stops the board in motion. 

Newton’s Second Law of motion

Newton’s second law says that a force acting on a highly mobile body causes it to accelerate at a constant rate when it encounters a constant force. The simplest case is what happens when a force is applied to a resting object: it will accelerate in the direction of the force. An example of this law of motion in action is riding your bicycle. Mass is the bicycle. The force comes from your leg muscles pushing against the pedals. The Second Law of Newton is among the most important principles of physics.

The second law can be expressed mathematically with F representing force, m representing mass and a representing acceleration.

∑​ F = ma

Using this formula, the mass of an object is translated directly into acceleration and force from classical mechanics. This formula ultimately forms the basis of much of classical mechanics. 

Newton’s Third Law of Motion

Whenever two bodies interact, they apply opposite forces in magnitude and direction. This is Newton’s third law. It is also called the law of action and reaction. The force exerted by object A must be counterbalanced by object B through the exertion of a force of equal magnitude and opposite direction. A symmetry in nature can be observed by looking at this law: forces always occur in pairs and one body cannot exert a force on another without experiencing one of its own. For instance, if you sit in your chair, your body presses downward and the chair presses upward. In the same way that a car accelerates forward when the ground pushes forward on the drive wheels, the drive wheels push backward on the ground. For problems of static equilibrium in which all forces are balanced, this law is very important, but it’s also applicable to bodies that are moving uniformly or accelerated. 

Conclusion

The three Newton’s laws of motion are some of the most important and interesting subjects within physics. They may seem like common sense and basic concepts at first glance. Nevertheless, the connections between them and the real world make them invaluable. Science explains how things move, where things move to and how far they move by using laws. All aspects of motion are explained by Newton’s three laws of motion. To change the motion of an object, Newton’s first law explains that forces are required. The second law says that forces and acceleration are related to mass. This third law indicates that forces work in pairs.  To be more specific, the first law provides a qualitative definition of force, the second law provides a quantitative measurement of force and the third law establishes that no single isolated force exists.
