Newton's Laws of Motion

1) Newton's three laws of motion are introduced, including inertia, F=ma, and equal and opposite reaction. 2) Examples are provided to illustrate Newton's second law, using equations for acceleration, final velocity, mass, and force to solve for unknown values. 3) Whiteboard examples further demonstrate applying Newton's second law to calculate acceleration, force, mass, and velocity in different scenarios.

Newton’s Three Laws of motion:
1. An object at rest will remain at rest, an object in
motion will remain in motion at a constant speed, in a
straight line (constant Velocity) unless acted upon by
an outside force.
Inertia - the tendency of an object to resist a
change in its motion.
(Air Track & glider, Snappy cup, Japanese man, paper and bottles, French restaurant, stage sets...)

2. F = ma (an outside force causes an a = F/m)


(fan and car with mass)

3. For every action there is an equal but opposite


reaction
(balloon rockets (2), rockets in general, what does a car push on?)
F = ma
Acceleration -
Force - in Newtons (N) in m/s/s
Net Force. a = v/t
Unbalanced vf = vi + at
Force Mass - in kg
(Kilograms) x = vit + 1/2at2
grams/1000 = kg vf2 = vi2 + 2ax
lbs/2.2 (on earth)
Example: What force causes a 4.0 kg object to accelerate at
6.0 m/s/s?
F = (4.0 kg)(6.0 m/s/s) = 24 kg m/s/s or 24 Newtons or 24 N

F = ma
Acceleration -
Force - in Newtons (N) in m/s/s
Net Force. a = v/t
Unbalanced vf = vi + at
Force Mass - in kg
(Kilograms) x = vit + 1/2at2
grams/1000 = kg v 2 = v 2 + 2ax
Example: A 2.1 kg hammer accelerates from rest under the
influence of a net force of 120 N. What is its final velocity
if the force is exerted over a distance of 78 cm?
a = f/m; a = 57.14 m/s/s; vf2 = vi2 + 2ax; vf =9.44 m/s

F = ma
Acceleration -
Force - in Newtons (N) in m/s/s
Net Force. a = v/t
Unbalanced vf = vi + at
Force Mass - in kg
(Kilograms) x = vit + 1/2at2
grams/1000 = kg v 2 = v 2 + 2ax

What unbalanced force causes a 892 g
object to accelerate at -9.80 m/s/s?

m = 892 g/1000 = .892 kg


F = ma
F = (.892 kg)(-9.80 m/s/s) = -8.74 N

-8.74 N
What is the acceleration of a 12 kg
object if you exert 37 N of unbalanced
force on it?

F = ma, a = F/m = (37 N)/(12 kg)


= 3.083 m/s/s = 3.1 m/s/s
N/kg = (kg m/s/s)/kg = m/s/s

3.1 m/s/s
What is the mass of an object if when
there is a 128 N net force acting on it,
it accelerates at 3.7 m/s/s?

F = ma, m = F/a = (128 N)/(3.7 m/s/s)


= 34.59 kg = 35 kg

35 kg
A 16 kg object going 23 m/s is
stopped by a force in 0.125 s. What
force?

vf = vi + at, F = ma
vf = vi + at, a = (vf-vi)/t = (0 - 23 m/s)/(.125 s)
= -184 m/s/s

F = ma = (16 kg)(-184 m/s/s) = -2944 N = -2900 N

-2900 N
A 3.84 kg object going 42.0 m/s
experiences a force of -23.5 N for 2.60 s.
What is the final velocity of the object?

F = ma
vf = vi + at
F = ma, a = F/m = (-23.5 N)/(3.84 kg) = -6.1198 m/s/s
vf = vi + at = 42.0 m/s + (-6.1198 m/s/s)(2.60 s)
= 26.1 m/s

26.1 m/s
A 143 gram baseball going 39 m/s caught
by the catcher. In stopping, the baseball
travels 7.5 cm. What is the average force
exerted on the ball?
F = ma
vf2 = vi2 + 2ax
a = -10,140 m/s/s
F = ma = (.143 kg)(-10,140 m/s/s) = 1450.02 N

-1450 N
A 4.2 g rifle bullet reaches a speed of 890
m/s in a distance of 61 cm. What is the
average force exerted on the bullet?
What is that in pounds if 4.45 N = 1
pound?

F = ma
vf2 = vi2 + 2ax
a = 649,262.3 m/s/s
F = ma = (.0042 kg)(649,262.3 m/s/s) = 2726.9 N
+2730 N 613 lbs
