Galileo Galilei –Italian Astronomer –Suggested that once an object is in motion, no force is needed to keep it moving. Force –Needed to change the motion of the object. force.htm

Newton’s 1 st Law of Motion Restates Galileo’s ideas about force and motion An object at rest will remain at rest, and an object moving at a constant velocity will continue moving at a constant velocity unless it is acted upon by an unbalanced force.

Newton’s 1 st Law of Motion This means that if an object is not moving, it will not move until a force acts on it. If an object is already moving, it will continue to move until a force changes its speed or direction. Gravity and friction are unbalanced forces that often change an object’s motion.

Newton’s 1 st Law of Motion

Inertia An object moving or not moving it resists any change to its motion. Inertia –The tendency of an object to resist a change in motion

Inertia Newton’s 1 st Law –Also called the Law of Inertia The greater mass of an object, the greater its inertia, and the greater the force needed to change its motion.

Newton’s 1 st Law

Newton’s 2 nd Law of Motion Acceleration –depends on the object’s MASS and the NET FORCE acting on the object. –Net force / mass –Units = Newtons (N)

Newton’s 2 nd Law of Motion Formulas: **Force = mass x acceleration –The greater the mass the greater the force needed to accelerate the object. **Acceleration = net force mass –The greater the mass, the less the object will accelerate.

Newton’s 2 nd Law of Motion How do you increase acceleration? –If mass is constant, increase force = increase acceleration –If force is constant, decrease in mass = increase in acceleration

Activity 2: Demonstrations Each group will participate in the following demonstrations. You must correctly discuss with your partner, –What is the force acting on the object at start? –What is the force acting on the object at stop? –Which law is this identifying?

Activity 2: Demonstrations Egg Spin –Consider the motion of a boiled egg & raw egg after you stop them from spinning. Penny Drop –Can you get the penny to drop into the beaker? Ball Race –Which ball will win the race? Ping pong? Foam ball? Golf ball?

Activity 3: Question Builder You will have 10 minutes to complete your Ch. 10 Sec. 3 review questions –Two Level 1 Questions (RECALL) –Two Level 2 Questions (INFERENCE) –One Level 3 Question (APPLICATION)

Newton’s 2 nd Law of Motion

Learning Targets Did you learn today: To identify Newton’s First Law and Newton’s Second Law of Motion To understand what inertia is. To understand the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration.

Section 10.3 Assessment What does Newton’s 1 st Law of motion state? –An object at rest will remain at rest and an object in motion will remain in motion, unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. Why is Newton’s 1 st law of motion sometimes called the law of intertia? –Inertia is a measure of an object’s tendency to resist a change in its motion. Use what you know about inertia to explain why you feel pressed back into the seat of a car when it accelerates? –Because of your inertia, your body tends to remain in place. The car seat causes you to accelerate, therefore, by exerting a force on your back.

Section 10.3 Assessment State Newton’s 2 nd law of motion in your own words. –The greater the force= the greater the acceleration. –The greater the acceleration or the greater the object’s mass = the lower the acceleration How could you keep an object’s acceleration the same if the force acting on the object were doubled? –You could double the object’s mass

Section 10.3 Assessment Why does a car with a large mass might use more fuel than a car with a smaller mass. –A greater force is required to accelerate a more massive car, therefore, more engine power is required and more fuel is needed to produce that power. Find the force it would take to accelerate an 800kg car at a rate of 5 m/s2 –F=ma –800 kg X 5m/s2= 4,000 N

Section 10.3 Assessment What is the net force acting on a 0.15 kg hockey puck accelerating at a rate of 12 m/s2? –F=ma –(0.15 kg x 12 m/s2) = 1.8 N

Learning Targets Identify Newton’s 3 rd Law of Motion Discuss momentum, and how it relates to mass and velocity.

Activity 1: Say Something After watching the following video, turn to your partner and discuss what you understood from the video.

Activity 1: What is momentum?

Activity 1: Say Something Now, turn and say something to your neighbor about what you think the definition of momentum is. WHAT IS MOMENTUM?

Activity 2 : Jot Notes You will complete Jot Notes on Ch. 10 Sec. 4 “NEWTONS 3 rd LAW” Be sure to write down any BOLD words Be sure to write down anything in RED.

Newton’s 3 rd Law of Motion Whenever one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts a force of equal strength in the opposite direction on the first object

Newton’s 3 rd Law of Motion “Action-Reaction” forces Ex. When air rushes out of a balloon “action”, the balloon is pushed up with a force “reaction”

Momentum “mass in motion” Every object has mass, so if that mass is in motion then that object has momentum.

Momentum It is the characteristic of a moving object related to the mass and velocity of the object Momentum = mass x velocity Units = kg* m/s

Momentum The more mass an object has the more momentum it has, so the harder it is to stop the object. Ex. A car moving 20 m/s is harder to stop than a baseball moving at 20 m/s because the car has a greater mass and greater momentum.

Momentum Amount of momentum objects have is conserved when they collide. It can be transferred from one object to another, but none is lost. Law of conservation of momentum –The total amount of momentum of objects that interact does not change in the absence of outside forces. –Ex. Friction

Momentum Word Problems Which has more momentum: a 3.0- kg sledgehammer swung at 1.5 m/s or a 4.0-kg sledgehammer swung at 0.9 m/s? Momentum = Mass X Velocity Smaller : 3.0 kg X 1.5 m/s = 4.5 kg x m/s Larger : 4.0 kg X 0.9 m/s = 3.6 kg x m/s

Golf Ball: kg x 16 m/s = 0.72 kg x m/s Baseball: 0.14 kg x 7 m/s = 0.98 kg x m/s The baseball has greater momentum
