1. Warm Up 510.25.11 What actually causes motion? In other words, how do objects start, stop, or change direction?

2. Dynamics - the study of what causes motion

3. Newton’s First Law of Motion – “Inertia”

4. Galileo For 2000 years, people believed objects were naturally at rest. For 2000 years, people believed objects were naturally at rest. Galileo used experimentation to disprove 2000 years of accepted belief in motion Galileo used experimentation to disprove 2000 years of accepted belief in motion

5. Galileo (1564- 1642) “An object, once placed in motion, will move further until another force brings it to a stop”. “An object, once placed in motion, will move further until another force brings it to a stop”. Implied that the natural state of an object is constant motion. Implied that the natural state of an object is constant motion.

6. What does this actually mean? “Implied that the natural state of objects is continuous motion.” “Implied that the natural state of objects is continuous motion.”

7. What does this actually mean? “Implied that the natural state of objects is continuous motion.” “Implied that the natural state of objects is continuous motion.” Things stay in motion unless something stops it. Things stay in motion unless something stops it. Galileo figured out the identity of that something and called it “Resistance” Galileo figured out the identity of that something and called it “Resistance”

8. Galileo’s Breakthrough #1 He realized that things slowed down due to friction. He realized that things slowed down due to friction. Friction opposes all motion. Friction opposes all motion.

9. Galileo’s Breakthrough #2 In the real world, we have friction. What if there was no friction?  What would happen to motion? Galileo hypothesized and experimented discovered something entirely new.

10. In a frictionless world … Objects will never stop, will go forever Objects will never stop, will go forever Objects needs no force to keep it moving Objects needs no force to keep it moving

11. Why don’t things move on their own on a frictionless surface?

12. Something keeps them from moving That “something” must be universal Photograph by Beverly Joubert

13. In a frictionless world … All objects have “it” even on a frictionless surface. All objects have “it” even on a frictionless surface.

14. “INERTIA” Newton incorporated this into his work and called the property “inertia”.

15. Newton’s First Law of Motion The Law of Inertia When no external, unbalanced force acts on an object its velocity remains constant. or When no external, unbalanced force acts on an object its velocity remains constant. or If no net force acts on an object, it maintains its state of rest or its constant speed in a straight line or If no net force acts on an object, it maintains its state of rest or its constant speed in a straight line or An object at rest will remain at rest, an object in motion will remain in motion in a straight line unless they are acted upon by an external force. An object at rest will remain at rest, an object in motion will remain in motion in a straight line unless they are acted upon by an external force.

16. What is Inertia? Inertia is a property of matter like color and mass. Inertia is directly related to mass  More mass, more inertia Mass is a measurement of the amount of inertia and matter.  mass = matter = inertia

17. But, what is inertia? Inertia is the “laziness” of matter Matter does not like to change its motion The more matter, the lazier it gets  More matter = harder to change

18. Example An elephant at rest has a lot of “laziness” so it has a greater tendency to remain at rest. An elephant at rest has a lot of “laziness” so it has a greater tendency to remain at rest. (hard to move) (hard to move)

19. Example A runaway train at constant velocity has a lot of “laziness” so it has a greater tendency to stay in motion. A runaway train at constant velocity has a lot of “laziness” so it has a greater tendency to stay in motion. (hard to stop) (hard to stop)

20. Implications External force is required to accelerate an object. External force is required to accelerate an object.  Remember what accelerates mean? External force must be unbalanced. External force must be unbalanced.

21. NET Force – resultant force. Which object will remain at rest, according to Newton’s First Law? Which object will remain at rest, according to Newton’s First Law? Which object will continue moving with constant velocity, according to Newton’s First Law? Which object will continue moving with constant velocity, according to Newton’s First Law? 5 N 8 N This car will accelerate. The cat will move

22. Look

23. True or False?

24. 6 Notions of Force and Motion 1. If there is motion, there is a force acting to keep an object in motion. 2. There cannot be a force without motion- if there is no motion then there is no force acting. 3. When an object moving there is a force in the direction of motion.

25. 6 Notions of Force and Motion 4. A moving object has a force within it which keeps it moving. 5. A moving object stops when its force is used up. 6. Motion is proportional to force acting. Therefore a constant speed result from a constant force.

26. Answers? NOT one of these notions are correct. These are 6 commonly held misconceptions of force and motion, and they all originate from Aristotle’s views.

27. Difference between Mass and Weight

28. Differentiating Mass and Weight Mass measures the amount of matter  Mass is a scalar Does the amount of matter change when an object is moved from the earth into space?

29. Differentiating Mass and Weight Weight depends on the mass of an object TIMES the acceleration due to gravity.  Weight is a FORCE and a vector.

30. Compare your mass and your weight Divide your weight in pounds by 2.2.  This is your mass in kg What is your weight on the moon where gravity is 1/6 th the earth’s? What is your mass on the moon?

31. Forces

32. Force SI unit – Newton; N A force needed to accelerate a 1 kg mass 1 m/s every second. 1kg*m/s 2 = 1N A vector quantity

33. A force is a push or a pull A force can cause  1. a stationary object to move  2. a moving object to stop  3. an object to accelerate (change speed or direction)

34. Net Force - Resultant Force Net force – the combination of all the forces acting on an object. The net force changes an object’s state of motion.

35. Net Force Balanced force – Net force is equal to zero  Object remains at rest  Object maintains its motion 5 N

36. Net Force Unbalanced force – Net force is NOT equal to zero  The cat will move  The car will accelerate 5 N 8 N

37. Net Force Objects move in the same direction as the Net Force  What is the Net Force on the cat?  Which way does it move?  And the car? 5 N 8 N 3 N

43. Light Bulb Moment No matter how many applied forces are acting on an object AND the net force is equal to zero, the object will maintain its inertia. No matter how many applied forces are acting on an object AND the net force is equal to zero, the object will maintain its inertia. Balanced forces on an object, maintains the state of inertia of an object. Balanced forces on an object, maintains the state of inertia of an object.

44. If the forces acting on an object are cancelled, the object is said to be in a state of equilibrium. Meaning the net force is equal to zero and the object maintains its inertia. Weight Air Friction The object is at rest Normal Force by the ground Falling objects will experience terminal velocity

45. Example If you are standing, at rest, the balanced forces acting on you are: If you are standing, at rest, the balanced forces acting on you are: a.) your weight and b.) the upward support force of the ground called the normal force. normal force.
