MOTION THE LAWS OF NEWTON

Ostmann Science Kate Bond Middle School

In Newtons lingua…

1. Every body perseveres in its state of rest, or of uniform motion in a right line, unless it is compelled to change that state by forces impressed thereon.

2. The alteration of motion is ever proportional to the motive force impressed; and is made in the direction of the right line in which that force is impressed.

3. To every action there is always opposed an equal and opposite reaction: or the mutual actions of two bodies upon each other are always equal, and directed to contrary parts.

NEWTONS FIRST LAW

IS ALSO CALLED… LAW OF INERTIA Tendency to stay the same GIANT SNOWBALL

SOCCER BALL STAYS AT REST UNTIL PLAYER KICKS IT!

NEWTON’S SECOND LAW

How quickly an object changes speed depends on it’s mass and the magnitude of the force acting on it. F = m x a OR Mass stayed the same a = F / m a = F / m Force got smaller The second law is an equation that relates force, mass, and acceleration.

NEWTONS THIRD LAW

For every action...

…there is as an equal and opposite…

…REACTION.

The third law in SPACE

WEIGHT A measurement of an object’s force.

MASS VS. WEIGHT

MASS A measurement of how much matter an object has. Whose mass is greater, the man on the earth or the moon?

TRICK QUESTION! YOUR MASS IS THE SAME ON THE MOON AS IT IS ON EARTH.

Speed vs. Velocity

Displacement Velocity = 0 m/s Speed = 17.08 m/s Distance Same start and end point = didn’t go anywhere Horse won the race by traveling 17.08meter/second over 10 meters

SPEED

Describes how fast an object is moving.

VELOCITY

HOW FAST AN OBJECT IS MOVING IN A CERTAIN DIRECTION

MOMENTUM

= (MASS) X (VELOCITY)

The force an object has due to it’s movement.

Object must be moving.

The larger the mass, the greater the momentum

VELOCITY VELOCITY

The greater the velocity, the greater the momentum.

Case Study: Luciano’s Pound Puppies

HOMEWORK:

QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER WHILE WATCHING THE VIDEO

Circus Physics DOGS 1. What forces do you see in the video?

2. Why does the dog slide down the slide?

3. Which of Newton's Laws applies when the dog jumps off of Luciano?

4. What is an example of Newton's First Law? 5. What is an example of Newton's Third Law?

Digging Deeper: Newton’s 1

st

law

QUESTION: Why doesn’t the dog fall to the ground while he leaps through the hoop?

HE HAS INERTIA

Gravity The dog will keep moving until a force like gravity pulls him down.

Gravity pulls on the dog at a constant rate downward. Uninterrupted forward force

Digging Deeper: Newton’s 2

nd

Law

The dog’s net force pulls him down the slide.

How fast is his acceleration as he slides down?

To find the dog's acceleration, we can use Newton's 2nd Law:

Net Force = Mass x Acceleration OR "F = ma".

Digging Deeper: Newton’s 3 rd Law HINTs: Luciano and the dog experience the same force.

F = ma M = 80kg a = ?

m = 15 kg A = 2.45 m/s 2 Lucky the dog jumps off of Luciano, causing Lucky to momentarily accelerate horizontally at 2.45 m/s 2 .

If the dog has a mass of 15 kg and Luciano has a mass of 80 kg, what horizontal acceleration does Luciano feel?

M x a = m x A (80kg)a = (15kg)(2.45m/s 2 ) a = (15kg)(2.45m/s 2 ) 80kg
