MOTIONTHE LAWS OF NEWTON

Ostmann ScienceKate 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 LAWIS ALSO CALLED… LAW OF INERTIA

SOCCER BALL STAYS AT REST UNTIL

PLAYER KICKS IT!

GIANT SNOWBALL

Tendency to stay the same

NEWTON’S SECOND LAW

F = m x a

OR

How quickly an object changes speed depends on it’s mass and the magnitude of the force acting on it.

a = F/ m a = F/ m

The second law is an equation that relates force, mass, and acceleration.

Mass stayed the same

Force got smaller

NEWTONS THIRD LAW

For every action...

…there is as an equal and opposite…

…REACTION.

The third law in SPACE

MASS VS. WEIGHT

WEIGHT

A measurement of an object’s force.

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.

MASS

A measurement of how much matter an object has.

Speed vs. Velocity

Velocity = 0 m/s

Speed = 17.08 m/s

Same start and end point = didn’t go anywhere

Horse won the race by traveling 17.08meter/second over 10 meters

Displacement

Distance

SPEED

Describes how fast an object is moving.

HOW FAST AN OBJECT IS MOVING IN A CERTAIN DIRECTION

VELOCITY

MOMENTUM

VELOCITY

= (MASS) X (VELOCITY)

The larger the mass, the greater the momentum

The greater the velocity, the greater the momentum.

The force an object has due to it’s movement.Object must be moving.

Case Study: Luciano’s Pound Puppies

Circus Physics DOGS

QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER WHILE WATCHING THE VIDEO

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?

HOMEWORK:

Digging Deeper:Newton’s 1st law

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

HE HAS INERTIA

Gravity

Uninterrupted forward force

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

Gravity pulls on the dog at a constant rate downward.

Digging Deeper:Newton’s 2nd Law

To find the dog's acceleration, we can use Newton's 2nd Law:Net Force = Mass x Acceleration OR "F = ma".

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

How fast is his acceleration as he slides down?

Digging Deeper:Newton’s 3rd Law

Lucky the dog jumps off of Luciano, causing Lucky to momentarily accelerate horizontally at 2.45 m/s2.

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

Luciano and the dog experience the same force.F = ma

M = 80kga = ?

m = 15 kgA = 2.45 m/s2

M x a = m x A(80kg)a = (15kg)(2.45m/s2)

a = (15kg)(2.45m/s2)80kg
