Laws of Motion

This document discusses Sir Isaac Newton and his three laws of motion. It begins by stating that Newton described three laws relating forces to motion. It then provides definitions for key terms like friction, inertia, and mass. It proceeds to explain each of Newton's three laws of motion through definitions and examples. Newton's first law is that an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted on by an unbalanced force. His second law states that acceleration depends on mass and applied force. And his third law is that for every force there is an equal and opposite reaction force. Examples are provided for each law.

Sir Isaac Newton

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

Newtowns 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 Newtons 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 wont
start

Motion

Newtons Second Law of Motion


The

acceleration of an object depends on the


mass of the object and the amount of the
force applied

Newtons 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 Newtons 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

Newtons Third Law of Motion


1.

For every force, there is an equal and


opposite force

2.

Action and Reaction

Examples of Newtons 3rd Law


1.

2 cars hit head on

2.

Jumping out of a boat onto a dock

3.
