Science 8

- Isaac Newton was born in 1642 and discovered the laws of gravity and motion. - He described 3 laws relating forces to motion, including inertia, mass, and acceleration. - Newton's First Law states that an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in a straight line unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

• Isaac Newton was born in 1642, the

same year that Galileo died. He was


an English physicist and
mathematician, famous for his
discovery of the Law of gravity and
the Three Laws of Motion.
Sir Isaac Newton
Laws of Motion
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

• 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 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
