Laws of Motion

- Sir Isaac Newton described 3 laws of motion relating forces to motion. - Newton's 1st law states that an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. - Newton's 2nd law states that the acceleration of an object depends on its mass and the amount of force applied to it. - Newton's 3rd law states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Laws of Motion

November 2011
Sir Isaac Newton

 1. Described 3 laws
that relate forces to
motion

 2. Force-a push or a
pull, all forces have size
and direction
Vocabulary

 1. Friction- a force that opposes motion


between 2 objects that are touching

 2. Inertia-tendency of all objects to stay at


rest or in motion

 3. Mass- the amount of matter an object is


made of
Newtown’s 1st Law of Motion
“Law of Inertia”

 An object at rest remains at rest and an


object in motion remains in motion at
constant speed and in a straight line unless
acted on by an unbalanced force
Examples of Newton’s 1st Law of
Motion

 1. Car suddenly stops


and you strain against
the seat belt
 2. Car turns left and
you appear to slide to
the right
 3. The difficulty of
pushing a car that won’t
start
Examples of Newton’s 1st Law of
Motion

 What is Newton’s 1st Law of Motion?

 Is an example of Newton’s 1st Law when a


car turns left and you appear to slide to the
right?

 What is inertia?
Newton’s Second Law of Motion

 The acceleration of an object depends on the


mass of the object and the amount of the
force applied
Newton’s Second Law of Motion

 1. Force = mass x acceleration F=m x a

 2. Force- a push or pull, all forces have size and


direction
 3. Mass- the amount of matter an object is made of
 4. Acceleration-the rate at which velocity changes;
and object accelerates if its speed changes, if its
direction changes and if both speed and direction
changes
Examples of Newton’s 2nd Law

 1. Hitting a softball, the harder the hit, the


faster the ball goes

 2. Football players and their positions

 3. Loaded versus an unloaded truck

 What is an example of Newton’s 2nd Law?

 What is friction?
Newton’s Third Law of Motion

 1. For every force, there is an equal and


opposite force

 2. Action and Reaction


Examples of Newton’s 3rd Law

 1. 2 cars hit head on

 2. Jumping out of a boat onto a dock

 3. Astronauts in space
