Newtons Second Law

mv mu F t

The rate of change of momentum of a body is directly proportional to the resultant force acting on the body and is in the same direction. F = Net Force m = mass a = acceleration (N or kgms-2) (kg) (ms-2)

F = ma

Implication When there is resultant force acting on an object, the object will accelerate (moving faster, moving slower or change direction).

Newtons Third Law Newton's third law of motion states that for every force, there is a reaction force with the same magnitude but in the opposite direction. Impulse

Vertical Motion

If an object is release from a high position: The initial velocity, u = 0. The acceleration of the object = gravitational acceleration = 10ms-2(or 9.81 ms-2). The displacement of the object when it reach the ground = the height of the original position, h.

If an object is launched vertically upward: The velocity at the maximum height, v = 0. The deceleration of the object = -gravitational acceleration = -10ms-2(or -9.81 ms-2). The displacement of the object when it reach the ground = the height of the original position, h.

Lift In Stationary When a man standing inside an elevator, there are two forces acting on him. (a) His weight which acting downward. (b) Normal reaction (R), acting in the opposite direction of weight. The reading of the balance is equal to the normal reaction.
