Newton’s First Law

• Newton’s First Law of Motion


– An object at rest will remain at rest
and an object in motion will
continue moving at a constant
velocity unless acted upon by a net
force.
A. Motion
• Problem:
– Is your desk moving?

• We need a reference point...


– nonmoving point from which motion is
measured
A. Motion
• Motion
–Change in position in relation to a
reference point.

A. Motion
Problem:
• You are a passenger in a car stopped at a
stop sign. Out of the corner of your eye,
you notice a tree on the side of the road
begin to move forward.
• You have mistakenly set yourself as the
reference point.
B. Speed & Velocity
• Speed d
–rate of motion v t
–distance traveled per unit time
B. Speed & Velocity
• Instantaneous Speed
–speed at a given instant
• Average Speed
B. Speed & Velocity
• Problem:
– A storm is 10 km away and is
moving at a speed of 60 km/h.
Should you be worried?
 It depends on
the storm’s
direction!
B. Speed & Velocity
• Velocity
–speed in a given direction
–can change even when the speed is
constant!
C. Acceleration vf - vi

• Acceleration a t
–the rate of change of velocity
–change in speed or direction
a: acceleration
vf: final velocity
vi: initial velocity
t: time
C. Acceleration
• Positive acceleration
–“speeding up”
Negative acceleration
“slowing down”
D. Calculations
 Your neighbor skates at a speed of 4
m/s. You can skate 100 m in 20 s.
Who skates faster?
GIVEN:
d = 100 m WORK:
t = 20 s v=d÷t

v=? d v = (100 m) ÷ (20 s)

v t v = 5 m/s
You skate faster!
D. Calculations
 A roller coaster starts down a hill at
10 m/s. Three seconds later, its
speed is 32 m/s. What is the roller
coaster’s acceleration?
GIVEN: WORK:
vi = 10 m/s a = (vf - vi) ÷ t
t=3s a = (32m/s - 10m/s) ÷
vf = 32 m/s (3s)
vf - vi
a=? a = 22 m/s ÷ 3 s
a t a = 7.3 m/s2
D. Calculations
 Sound travels 330 m/s. If a lightning
bolt strikes the ground 1 km away
from you, how long will it take for you
to hear it?
GIVEN: WORK:
v = 330 m/s t=d÷v
d = 1km = 1000m
t=? t = (1000 m) ÷
(330 m/s)
t = 3.03 s
D. Calculations
 How long will it take a car traveling
30 m/s to come to a stop if its
acceleration is -3 m/s2?
GIVEN: WORK:
t=? t = (vf - vi) ÷ a
vi = 30 m/s t=
vf = 0 m/s (0m/s-30m/s)÷(-3m/s2)

a = -3 m/s2 t = -30 m/s ÷ -3m/s2


t = 10 s
E. Graphing Motion
Distance-Time Graph • slope =
speed
A • steeper slope =
faster speed
• straight line =

B
• flat lineconstant
= speed

no motion
E. Graphing Motion
• Who started out faster?
Distance-Time Graph – A (steeper slope)
• Who had a constant speed?
A –A
• Describe B from 10-20 min.
– B stopped moving
• Find their average speeds.
B – A = (2400m) ÷ (30min) A
= 80 m/min
– B = (1200m) ÷ (30min) B=
40 m/min
