NEWTON’S LAWS OF MOTION
Newton’ 1st law or Law of Inertia
Every body continues to be in its state of rest or of uniform motion
until and unless and until it is compelled by an external force to change its state
of rest or of uniform motion.
Inertia
The property by virtue of which a body opposes any change in its
state of rest or of uniform motion is known as inertia. Greater the mass of the
body greater is the inertia. That is mass is the measure of the inertia of the
body.
Numerical Application
If, F = 0 ; u = constant
Physical Application
1. When a moving bus suddenly stops, passenger’s head gets jerked in the
forward direction.
2. When a stationery bus suddenly starts moving passenger’s head gets jerked
in the backward direction.
3. On hitting used mattress by a stick, dust particles come out of it.
4. In order to catch a moving bus safely we must run forward in the direction of
motion of bus.
5. Whenever it is required to jump off a moving bus, we must always run for a
short distance after jumping on road to prevent us from falling in the forward
direction.
Key Concept
In the absence of external applied force velocity of body remains
unchanged.
Newton’ 2nd law
Rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the applied
force and this change always takes place in the direction of the applied force.

or, dp =F (here proportionality constant is 1)
dt
putting, p = mv
F = dp
dt
or, F = dmv
dt
or, F = mdv + vdm
dt dt
or, F = mdv (if m is constant dm/dt = 0)

or, F = ma
Note :- Above result is not Newton’s second law rather it is the conditional result
obtained from it, under the condition when m = constant.
