Chapter 3 Dynamics
3.1 Newtons Laws of Motion
Newtons Laws:
1. Newton's First Law of Motion,


This explains a body which resists the changes to its state of rest or motion and its known
as inertia. The inertia of a body is measured by its mass.
A conclusion can be made here: .

2. Newton's Second Law of Motion,


This explains the present of some force which is the resultant of total forces acting per unit
surface. This come with a formula .

3. Newton's Second Law of Motion,


Whatever the situation of any force exerted to an object there will be an opposite forces. A
conclusion can be made: .
What Really Happened with the Apple?
Probably the more correct version of the story is that Newton, upon observing an apple fall from a
tree, began to think along the following lines: The apple is accelerated, since its velocity changes
from 0 as it is hanging on the tree and moves toward the ground. Thus, by Newton's 2nd Law there
must be a force that acts on the apple to cause this acceleration. Let's call this force "gravity", and
the associated acceleration the "acceleration due to gravity". Then, imagine the apple tree is twice
as height. Again, we expect the apple to be accelerated toward the ground, so this suggests that this
force that we call gravity reaches to the top of the tallest apple tree.

3.3 Conservation of Linear Momentum
Linear momentum,
is defined as the product between mass and velocity.
is a vector quantity.

states In an isolated (closed) system, the total momentum of that system is constant.
