Newton’s Laws of Motion

1 st Law An object at rest will remain at rest and an object in motion will remain in motion at a constant velocity unless acted upon by unbalanced forces

Newton’s Laws of Motion 1 st Law Inertia: resistance to change in motion

Newton’s Laws of Motion 1 st Law Inertia: resistance to change in motion AKA: momentum p = m * v

Newton’s Laws of Motion 1 st Law Inertia: resistance to change in motion AKA: momentum p = m * v Forces Forces are balanced when they cancel each other out

Newton’s Laws of Motion 1 st Law Inertia: resistance to change in motion AKA: momentum p = m * v Forces Forces are balanced when they cancel each other out Forces are unbalanced when they do not cancel each other out

Wrap-Up #2 ► For each of the following situations, determine if the forces are balanced or unbalanced:  A snow skier is speeding down a mountain, going faster and faster  A snow skier is being carried up the mountain by the lift. The lift moves at a constant speed.

Wrap-Up #2: Answers ► For each of the following situations, determine if the forces are balanced or unbalanced:  A snow skier is speeding down a mountain, going faster and faster ► Unbalanced – the skier is speeding up; acceleration requires unbalanced forces  A snow skier is being carried up the mountain by the lift. The lift moves at a constant speed. ► Balanced – constant speed means no acceleration
