2. Newton’s first law of motion
Newton’s first law of motion states that ” A body
continues its state of rest or of uniform motion in a
straight line provided no net force acts on it.
Newton’s 1st law of motion deals with the inertial
property of matter, therefore, newton’s 1st law of
motion is known as the law of inertia.
4. Newton’s second law of
motion
The acceleration of an object as produced by a
net force is directly proportional to the
magnitude of the net force, in the same
direction as the net force, and inversely
proportional to the mass of the object.
6. Newton’s third law of motion
Newton's third law: If an object A exerts a force on
object B, then object B must exert a force of equal
magnitude and opposite direction back on object A.
This law represents a certain symmetry in nature:
forces always occur in pairs, and one body cannot
exert a force on another without experiencing a force
itself. States that for every action (force) in nature
there is an equal and opposite reaction.
8. Newton’s law of Gravity
Newton's law of gravitation, statement that any
particle of matter in the universe attracts any other
with a force varying directly as the product of the
masses and inversely as the square of the distance
between them.

130. Friction Force
Friction is the force that resists motion when the surface of one object
comes in contact with the surface of another
Limiting friction occurs when the moving force and the force opposing
motion are equal, any addition to the moving force will cause slipping.
When the force acting on the body is less than the limiting friction, then
the body remains at rest. The friction now acting between the
surfaces of contact is statics friction
When the force acting on the body is greater than the limiting friction,
then the body comes into motion. The friction now acting between the
surfaces of contact is dynamic friction. The dynamic friction is always
less than the limiting friction.
131. Laws of Friction
• The friction force acts in a direction opposite to that in which body
tends to move.
• The friction experienced by the object is dependent on the nature of
the surface it is in contact with.
• Friction is independent of the area of contact as long as there is an
area of contact
• Till the limiting value is reached the magnitude of friction is exactly
equal to the force which tends to move the body.
• After the body starts moving the dynamic friction comes into play
the magnitude of which is less than that of limiting friction.

area of the body times the square of the distance between the two
axes.
