Newton's laws of motion are three physical
laws that together laid the foundation
for classical mechanics. They describe the
relationship between a body and
the forces acting upon it, and its motion in
response to said forces. They have been
expressed in several different ways over nearly
three centuries, and can be summarized as
follows:
First Law: When viewed in an inertial
reference frame, an object either is at rest
or moves at a constant velocity, unless
acted upon by a force.

Second law: The acceleration of a body is
directly proportional to, and in the same
direction as, the net force acting on the
body, and inversely proportional to
its mass. Thus, F = ma, where F is the net
force acting on the object, m is the mass of
the object and a is the acceleration of the
object.
Third law: When one body exerts a force
on a second body, the second body
simultaneously exerts a force equal in
magnitude and opposite in direction to
that of the first body.

First Law of Motion:-
The first law states that if the net
force (the vector sum of all forces acting on
an object) is zero, then the velocity of the
object is constant. Velocity is
vector quantity which expresses both the
object's speed and the direction of its
motion; therefore, the statement that the
object's velocity is constant is a statement
that both its speed and the direction of its
motion are constant.
Consequently,
An object that is at rest will stay at rest
unless an external force acts upon it.
An object that is in motion will not
change its velocity unless an external
force acts upon it.


The first law can be stated
mathematically as :-

Second Law of Motion :-
The second law of motion states that the rate of
change of momentum is directly proportional to the
applied force, and takes place in the direction in
which that force acts.
Momentum :-
Momentum can be defined as the product of the
mass of a body and its velocity.
Mathematically,
p = m.a
Law :-
For every action, there is equal and opposite
reaction.
Example :-
When a person put his leg on the Skateboard,
and then moves forward, the skateboard is
pushed backward automatically.
There are 3 equations of motion given by Newton.
They are :-
v = u+at
s = ut+at

The derivation of the mentioned equations are
discussed in next slides.
Here we may take a
body moving with
the initial velocity of
u, and achieving the
final velocity, v after
some time t.
As we know


now,
v-u = at



Now, here also, with the same
condition, we may take
ar(1) + ar(2) = s
where, s = displacement








now, s = ar(1) + ar(2)


We have, and
From these two, in the situation, where we do not
have t, time; then we take . Then the
second equation becomes
