A scientific law is something that will happen in the physical world each and every time that conditions allow for it.

Newton’s lawsSlide3
1st Law of Motion
(Law of Inertia)
An
object in motion or at rest will stay in constant motion or at rest forever and ever unless an outside force acts on it. Slide4
1st LawThe moon will keep revolving around the earth forever, unless acted on by an unbalanced force.Slide5
Why then, do we observe every day objects in motion slowing down and becoming motionless seemingly without an outside force? Slide6
Moon in orbit around earthSlide7
1st Law Once airborne, unless acted on by an unbalanced
force, it would never stop! Slide8
1st Law Unless acted upon by an unbalanced
force, this golf ball would sit on the tee forever. Slide9
There are four main types of friction:Sliding friction: friction between a sliding object and the surface it is sliding on.
Rolling friction: friction between a rolling object and the surface it is rolling on.
Static
friction:
friction that keeps a stationary object in place
Fluid friction (air or liquid): air or water resistance
Friction!
What is this unbalanced force that acts on an object in motion?Slide10

Slide a book across a table and watch it slide to a rest position. The book comes to a rest because of the presence
of a force.What force?
Sliding Friction
In the absence of a force of friction, the book would continue in motion with the same speed and direction - forever! (Or at least to the end of the table top.) Slide12
Newtons’s 1st Law and You
Don’t let this be you. Wear seat belts.
The Law of Inertia states that an object in motion stays in motion until acted on by an outside force. Let’s make that outside force the seatbelt and not the windshield or pavement!Slide13
Newton’s 1st Law in Action.An person will remain in motion until acted upon by an outside force!Can you identify the outside forces?Slide14

An object will accelerate in the direction of the greatest force acting on it.The total force of an object is equal to its mass times its acceleration.2nd LawSlide16
F = m x aMass in kilogramsAcceleration in m/s2 Force is kg x m/s2 or NewtonsOne N
ewton is equal to the force required to accelerate one kilogram of mass at one m/s2 .

The fastest speed/velocity a falling object can go.This occurs when downward gravity is balanced by upward air resistance.If enough time exists, all falling objects eventually reach a constant speed.This is the only time on earth that a moving object has balanced forces acting on it.Terminal VelocitySlide21
Gravity = 9.8m/s

Terminal Velocity of Feather
Air Resistance
Terminal Velocity of Ball
Questions:
What is the only difference between the two objects?
Which object will accelerate for a longer period of time?
Which object will have the greatest terminal velocity? Why?Slide22
Occurs when objects move in a circular/orbital path.The force that keeps these objects moving in that path.These objects always have an inertia that is perpendicular to the orbit.Example: The Moon and Earth.What would happen if we had a switch to flip and turn off Earth’s gravity? Centripetal ForceSlide23
Where would it go?Slide24
How much force does a 2000 kg meteor hit the earth with?What is the acceleration of a 55 kg swimmer jumping off a cliff at Raystown? On Earth, when dropped, why does a bowling ball hit the ground before a feather? On the moon, when dropped, which one will hit the lunar surface first and why?

3rd LawFor every action, there is an equal force and opposite direction reaction.
Draw a diagram for each of the following slides.Slide26
3rd LawThe action force is the arrow pushing backward on the string.The reaction force the string pushing forward on the arrow.The mass of the bow + Indian and the acceleration of the string is transferred to the mass of the arrow giving it acceleration.Slide27
3rd LawProjectile MotionThe action force is the mass of the bullet accelerating forward.The reaction force is the mass of the gun accelerating backward.Therefore, guns kick!
The bigger and faster the bullet, the more kick.The lighter the gun, the more it kicks.
Slide28
Pitching a baseball/softball.The action force is the pitcher pushing backward on the mound.The reaction is the mound pushing the pitcher toward home plate!3rd LawSlide29
Other examples of Newton’s Third LawThe baseball forces the bat to the left (an action); the bat forces the ball to the right (the reaction). Slide30
Newton’s 3rd Law in NatureConsider the propulsion of a fish through the water. A fish uses its fins to push water backwards. In turn, the water reacts by pushing the fish forwards, propelling the fish through the water.
The size of the force on the water equals the size of the force on the fish; the direction of the force on the water (backwards) is opposite the direction of the force on the fish (forwards). Slide31
3rd Law
Flying gracefully through the air, birds depend on Newton’s third law of motion. As the birds push down on the air with their wings, the air pushes their wings up and gives them lift.Slide32
3rd LawConsider the motion of a car on the way to school. A car is equipped with wheels which spin backwards. As the wheels spin backwards, they grip the road and push the road backwards. Slide33
3rd Law
The reaction of a rocket is an application of the third law of motion. Various fuels are burned in the engine, producing hot gases.
The hot gases push against the inside tube of the rocket and escape out the bottom of the tube. As the gases move downward, the rocket moves in the opposite direction.
