Question

State Newton’s laws of motion. Explain how the “newton” is defined from these laws.

First law

In an inertial frame of reference, an object either remains at rest or continues to move at a constant velocity, unless acted upon by a force.

Second law

In an inertial frame of reference, the vector sum forces F on an object is equal to the mass m of that object multiplied by the acceleration a of the object: $F = m\times a$ . (It is assumed here that the mass m is constant – see below)

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 on the first body.

Since "newton" is $\frac {kg\times m} {s ^ 2}$ , and according to Newton's second law, $F = m\times a$ therefore $[F] = kg\times\frac {m} {s ^ 2} = N$
