Physics Define Newton's first law, second law, as well as third law with full solution within single answer. First person to have the most accurate wording will be awarded medals from all participants.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Newton' first law=inertia

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*full solutions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

inertia=an object will keep moving unless unless acted upon by an unbalanced force

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correct

imqwerty (imqwerty):

1st law - a body tends to remain at its original position. :) nd this is called inertia .example - when u shake a tree the fruits fall down cause they try to resist any change in their original position nd thus they fall :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

second law: when force is applied to an object, acceleration is made

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@imqwerty you are contradicting yourself

imqwerty (imqwerty):

lol :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@heretohelpalways not quite. Pay attention to the proportion

OpenStudy (anonymous):

between the force applied and resulting acceleration.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

with mass being the constant

OpenStudy (anonymous):

As well as the resulting acceleration with changing mass with constant being the force applied.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Try to draw a relationship and describe each of them

OpenStudy (anonymous):

mass*acceleration=force

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

BUt

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Try to explain the relationship between the amount of force applied and resulting acceleration.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

AND relationship between mass and acceleration given a force assumed to be constant

OpenStudy (anonymous):

example: 300*0.07= 21 newtons

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes.

imqwerty (imqwerty):

:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Final answer being the applied force and resulting acceleration have a PROPORTIONAL RELATIONSHIP whereas mass and acceleration has INVERSE PROPORTIONAL RELATIONSHIP when force is kept constant.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In essence.

imqwerty (imqwerty):

how did i contradict myself

OpenStudy (anonymous):

elaborate

OpenStudy (anonymous):

balanced forces=net force of zero=that's not the case

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmmmmm, I'll think of something

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh astrophysics came

OpenStudy (anonymous):

recoil of a gun when it fires

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's a spot on

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you elaborate the concept?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Why aren't you shooting yourself with that? Why does recoil not kill you? Account for the drastic difference of surface areas being responsible for dispersion of forces into two opposite directions perfectly alined with one another.

imqwerty (imqwerty):

example of 3rd law - when u walk u put force on ground nd the ground puts a normal force on u wid the help of which u can walk :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry, got to go now. I am being serious. I'll answer this question again later or tomorrow. I'll give a medal to imqwerty.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Great! I hope you enjoyed my contest series @heretohelpalways

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I aim to make this stimulating for everyone .

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Mr. Astrophysics what have you got to say?

imqwerty (imqwerty):

:) #$$%#$%

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

I'll keep it simple I suppose. Newton's first law is a body acted on by no net forces with constant velocity (that means 0 acceleration) you can see this with a linear position time graph. You can also see this on a ice hockey table, the slicker the surface further the puck slides (given an initial velocity of course). So what you want to see from here is that when a body is at rest or moving with a constant velocity, we say it's at equilibrium, mathematically. \[\sum \vec F = 0\] don't forget the components! Newton's second law of motion is simply is net force = mass x acceleration, \[\sum \vec F = m \vec a\] writing it out we can say if a net external force acts on a body, the body accelerates. The direction of acceleration is the same as the direction of the net force where the m x a = the net force. I think you can think of your examples for this, pretty straight forward. Newton's third law often called action - reaction, it is stated as if a body A exerts force on body B (action) , then the body B exerts a force on body A (reaction), the two forces have the same magnitude but are opposite in direction. \[\vec F_{A~on~B} = - \vec F _{B ~ on~A}\] it's like a rocket blasting off, or kicking a ball, anything really. Hope that helps!

@imqwerty medal to astrophysics

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Haha, thanks :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Are you a professional physicist?

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Nope! But I do aspire one to be!

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

We do have one professional physicist here @Michele_Laino :-)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wow

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Are you taking physics in your unit I assume?

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Yup! I still have a long way to go haha.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Certainly any degree of comparison would be absurd to 1st year medical student. XD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Physics is just super amazing

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Haha, well medical students run away from physics :P

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Thanks for the medal, it was fun!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Likewise! See you around.

imqwerty (imqwerty):

:D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Interesting, Newton formulated his Second Law as a way to define acceleration, saying that a net force acting on a mass produces an acceleration in the same direction as the net force, i.e.\[\vec{a} = \frac{ \vec{F} }{ m }\]Only later was it adopted in its now familiar form\[\vec{F} = m \vec{a}\]

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Actually Newton proposed his second law as such, considering momentum \[\vec F = \frac{ d \vec p }{ dt }\]
