Essential Question: <strong>What</strong> <strong>are</strong> <strong>Newton's</strong> <strong>laws</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>motion</strong><br />

Sir Isaac Newton<br />

<strong>Newton's</strong> First Law <strong>of</strong> Motion<br />

States that an object in <strong>motion</strong> will remain in <strong>motion</strong> and an object at<br />

rest will stay at rest... unless, some outside force (an unbalanced<br />

force) acts on the object causing it to keep moving or stop.<br />

AKA: The Law <strong>of</strong> Inertia<br />

Inertia is an object's tendency to resist a<br />

change in <strong>motion</strong>.<br />

<strong>What</strong> does that really mean<br />

Think <strong>of</strong> a car crash - the car may stop, but what happens to you ...<br />

You (and everything else in your car) keep moving.<br />

<strong>Newton's</strong> Second Law <strong>of</strong> Motion<br />

States that an object's acceleration (its change<br />

in speed) depends on the object's mass and the<br />

force applied to the object.<br />

Easy<br />

Difficult<br />

Which hurts more... (which applies more FORCE)<br />

An elephant (5000 g) running into you at 2 meters per second<br />

OR<br />

A mouse (800 g) running into you at 50 meters per second<br />

The Law <strong>of</strong> Universal Gravitation<br />

The force <strong>of</strong> attraction between two<br />

objects that results from their<br />

masses and the distance between the<br />

two objects. All objects <strong>are</strong> attracted<br />

to one another.<br />

Gravitational Force = gravity constant X (mass1 X mass2)<br />

distance<br />

plug in here<br />

Gravity Constant = 6.67 x 10 -11<br />

Calculate the force <strong>of</strong> gravity between a 3.0 kg newborn baby<br />

and a 75 kg doctor standing 0.25 m away from each other.<br />

<strong>What</strong> is the force <strong>of</strong> gravity between an<br />

apple with a mass <strong>of</strong>.25 kg and a<br />

pumpkin with a mass <strong>of</strong> 4 kgs if they <strong>are</strong><br />

5 meters apart<br />

Formula = G mass 1 mass 2<br />

<strong>What</strong> does G =<br />

= .2<br />

Multiply that by your<br />

given gravity constant!<br />

6.67 x10 -11 .2<br />

Newtons third law <strong>of</strong> <strong>motion</strong><br />

states that for every action<br />

there is an equal and opposite<br />

reaction.<br />

AKA - Law <strong>of</strong> Momentum<br />

<strong>What</strong> is Momentum<br />

Momentum: the property <strong>of</strong> a<br />

moving object that equals its mass<br />

times its velocity.<br />

Which has more momentum<br />

OR<br />

Running 50 km/hr<br />

Formula:<br />

Momentum (p) = mass (kg) x velocity (m/s)<br />

p= mv<br />

Unit for momentum is kg m/s<br />

10 m/s. <strong>What</strong> is the sprinter's momentum<br />
