Newton’s Laws of Motion
2
Forces What is a force? A push or a pull
3
Forces What are some of the forces that connect to motion?
Contact force- when one object pushes or pulls on another by touching it. Gravity- the force of attraction between two objects. Friction- a force that resists motion between two surfaces that are pressed together.
4
Forces Force is a vector. This mean force has both size and direction.
5
Forces Balanced Forces (does not change motion)
Same size- Opposite direction Unbalanced Forces (can change motion) Same size- Same direction Different size- Same direction Different size- Opposite direction
6
Sir Isaac Newton In the mid-1600s, the English scientist Sir Isaac Newton studied the effects of forces on objects. He formulated three Laws of Motion.
7
Newton’s 1st Law Objects at rest remain at rest, and objects in motion remain in motion with the same velocity, unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
8
Newton’s 1st Law Inertia-
Inertia is the resistance of an object to a change in the speed or the direction of its motion.
9
Newton’s 2nd Law The acceleration of an object increases with increased force and decreases with increased mass. (Force = mass x acceleration)
10
Newton’s 2nd Law Sample Problem #1
What force is needed to accelerate a 10kg shopping cart 3m/s? Answer Formula: F = ma Substitute: F = (10kg)(3m/s) Solve: F = 30 kg*m/s Answer: F = 30 Newtons or 30N
11
Newton’s 3rd Law Every time one object exerts a force on another object, the second object exerts a force that is equal in size and opposite in direction back on the first object.
12
Which law says that force is equal to mass times acceleration (F=MA)?
