Chapter Six: Laws of Motion 6.1 Newton’s First Law 6.2 Newton’s Second Law 6.3 Newton’s Third Law and Momentum 6.1 Force changes motion A force is a push or pull, or any action that is able to change motion. Isaac Newton Born: England Dec. 25, 1643, the same year Galileo died Died in 1727, aged 85 years During Great Plague of 1665, while at home from college, developed 3 Laws of Motion Queen Anne knighted him in 1705, to become “Sir” Newton’s 3 Laws of Motion 6.1 Law of inertia Newton’s first law says that objects continue the motion they already have unless they are acted on by a net force. If the net force is zero, an object at rest will stay at rest. If an object is acted upon by unbalanced forces, its motion will change. “An object in motion tends to stay in motion; an object at rest tends to stay at rest.” Inertia A moving body will continue moving in the same direction with the same speed until some net force acts on it. A body at rest will remain at rest unless a net force acts on it. Summing it up: It takes a net force to change a body’s velocity. Demo What is the purpose of using a car seat for a child? 6.1 Net force Newton’s first law is often written in terms of the net force: “An object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will continue in motion at constant According to these vectors, in velocity UNLESS there is a net force.” what direction is the net force? 6.1 Force changes motion Forces can be used to increase or decrease the speed of an object, or to change the direction an object is moving. Inertia Example 2 If you’re driving at 65 mph and have an accident, your car may come to a stop in an instant, while your body is still moving at 65 mph. Without a seatbelt, your inertia could carry you through the windshield. Seat belt locking mechanism 6.1 Law of inertia Inertia is the property of an object that resists changes in motion. Objects with more mass have more inertia and are more resistant to changes in their motion. Which ball has more inertia? Inertia and Mass Inertia of an object is directly related to its mass Greater masses have greater inertia, or a greater resistance to change in motion Smaller masses have a lower inertia Inertia Example 1 An astronaut in outer space will continue drifting in the same direction at the same speed indefinitely, until acted upon by an outside force.
