Newton’s Three Laws of Motion
3
Newton's laws of motion are three physical laws which provide relationships between the forces acting on a body and the motion of the body. Sir Isaac Newton (January 1643 – March 1727)
4
An object at rest will remain at rest- unless acted upon by an outside force. Newton’s First Law of Motion
5
An object in motion will remain in motion – unless acted upon by an outside force. Newton’s First Law of Motion
6
An object at rest remains at rest, and an object in motion remains in motion at a constant speed and in a straight line unless acted on by an unbalanced force. Newton’s First Law of Motion
9
Inertia is a resistance to change in motion. Newton’s First Law of Motion AKA The Law of Inertia
10
Can You Explain… Newton’s First Law of Motion
11
An object at rest will remain at rest… Demos Newton’s First Law of Motion
12

13
Can You Explain… Newton’s First Law of Motion An object in motion will continue to move in a straight line. For Example…

Anti-Inertia Belts Newton’s First Law of Motion Better known as “Seatbelts” !
17
The acceleration of an object depends on the mass of the object and the amount of force applied. Newton’s second law describes the motion of an object when an unbalanced force acts on the object. Newton’s 2nd Law of Motion
18
This Law shows the relationship between mass, force, and acceleration. When a force is applied to a mass, it accelerates.
19
The larger the mass of an object, the more force needed to start it, stop it, or change its direction.
20
A speeding bullet and a slow moving train both have tremendous force. The force of the bullet can be attributed to its incredible acceleration while the force of the train comes from its great mass. Newton’s 2 nd Law of Motion Force = mass x acceleration
21
The acceleration of an object depends on the mass of the object and the amount of force applied. Newton’s second law describes the motion of an object when an unbalanced force acts on the object. Newton’s 2 nd Law of Motion
22
Part 1: Acceleration Depends on Mass The acceleration of an object decreases as its mass increases. Its acceleration increases as its mass decreases. Part 2: Acceleration Depends on Force An object’s acceleration increases as the force on the object increases. The acceleration of an object is always in the same direction as the force applied. Newton’s 2 nd Law of Motion
24
For Example: A Bowling Ball vs a ping pong ball. Newton’s 2 nd Law of Motion
25
Choose Your Position.. Some Athletes are long and lean, with little body fat, and little muscle. Basketball players and wide receivers fit this category.
27
Newton’s 2 nd Law of Motion
29
Choose Your Position… Other athletes, on the other hand, have lots of body fat, lots of muscle, and gain weight easily. Football lineman and sumo wrestlers are heavier and rounder individuals
31
Momentum, Mass, and Velocity The momentum of an object is the product of the object’s mass and velocity. Object at rest has zero momentum. Calculating Momentum The relationship of momentum (p), mass (m) in kilograms, and velocity (v) in meters per second, is shown in the equation below: p m x v
33
What is (i) the total kinetic energy before the collision; (ii) the total kinetic energy after the collision. (iii) the total loss in kinetic energy.
34
Momentum
36
The law of conservation of momentum states that any time objects collide, the total amount of momentum stays the same. Law of Conservation of Momentum
37
The combined objects have a different velocity because momentum is conserved and depends on mass and velocity. So, when the mass changes, the velocity must change, too. Law of Conservation of Momentum
38
Objects Bouncing Off Each Other When two objects bounce off each other, momentum is transferred from one object to the other. The transfer of momentum causes the objects to move in different directions at different speeds. Law of Conservation of Momentum
39
Because action and reaction forces are equal and opposite, momentum is neither gained or lost in a collision. Law of Conservation of Momentum & Newton’s 3 rd Law can be explained…
40
Forces Always Come in Pairs.
41
Newton’s Third Law of Motion Whenever one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite force on the first. Newton’s third law of motion can be simply stated as follows: All forces act in pairs.
43
For every action force, there is an equal, but opposite, reaction force. Newton’s 3 rd Law of Motion http://science.discovery.com/interactives/literacy /newton/newton.html
44
The Action Force is Equal in size but Opposite in Direction.
45
Action and Reaction forces always act on different objects. Action Force: The man pushes against the wall. Reaction Force: the wall pushes on the man.
46
Newton's third law does not mean that forces always cancel out so that nothing can ever move. If these two figure skaters, initially at rest, push against each other, they will both move.
47
Another example: Recoil of a gun or cannon
