Law of Motion

Newtons 1st law of motion states: An object at rest will remain at rest, -and-

an object moving at a constant velocity will continue moving at a constant velocity, -UNLESSit is acted upon by an unbalanced force.

Law of Motion

Objects resist any change to their motion! Thats because larger objects have more This resistance is called INERTIA. inertia (more resistance to a change in Which one their wouldmotion)! be easier to push? or

Explain this animation:

The truck is stopped by the force of the impact with the car, but the ladder continues to move at its original speed and in its original direction because of inertia.

nd Newtons 2 Law

NEWTONS SECOND LAW


Video

Acceleration is directly proportional to magnitude of the force

Acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass of the body.

State of Newtons Second Law :


Acceleration is directly proportional to the net

force acting on it, and inversely proportional to its mass.

Where : a = acceleration (m/s ) m = mass (kg) F = force (N)

rd Newtons 3 Law

Which forces are acting to get this guy up in the air?

His feet push DOWN on the ground.

But wait How can his downward push cause his upward motion? NO WAY!

Which forces are acting to get this guy up in the air?

His feet push DOWN on the ground. The ground pushes UP on the man. There must be a force pushing UP! The force of the ground pushes him UP!

Newtons

rd 3

Law of Motion

The forces, like ALL forces, act in PAIRS!


Action Force: Mans feet push DOWN on the ground. Reaction Force: Ground pushes UP on the man.
Newtons 3rd law says that: For every action
force, there is an equal and opposite

reaction force.

Lets Demonstrate
Stand up and face a partner with your palms touching. Push on your partners hands. Dont move your feet. The first partner to step back loses How can Newtons third law explain what happens?

Law of Motion

The mansA foot exerts a backward PAIR OF FORCES: EQUAL FORCES, push on the boat (actionBUT force), IN exerts OPPOSITE while the boat a forward DIRECTIONS push on the man (reaction force).

Identify the force pairs in each situation


A person fires a rifle.
Action Force gun pushes the bullet out at high speed. Reaction Force the bullet pushes back on the gun (recoil).

Identify the force pairs in each situation


A space shuttle lifts off.
Action Force engine pushes gases down & out. Reaction Force the gases push the rocket up.
*This upward force must be stronger than gravity pulling down on the rocket!

Identify the force pairs in each situation


A person stands still.
Action Force gravity pulls the person down to the floor. Reaction Force the floor pushes up on the person.
*You dont need MOTION for force pairs. They are everywhere!

If forces are equal and in opposite directions, why dont they cancel out (and balance)?
These forces acting on Forces only are cancel if they different objects! act on the same object. (Think about a tug of war Action Force Rocket all forces act on the rope). engine pushing on gases. These forces acting Reaction Force are Gases on different objects! push on the rocket.
