Sample question:
Horses can run much much faster than humans, but if the length of
the course is right, a human can beat a horse in a race. When, and
why, can a man outrun a horse?

The Sprinter
A sprinter accelerates at 2.5 m/s^2 until reaching his top speed
of
15 m/s. He then continues to run at top speed.
How long does it take him to run the 100 m dash?

Down and up
A ball is released on the left side at a height of 1 m on a
frictionless 30 degree slope, |a| = 5 m/s2. At the bottom, it turns
smoothly onto a 60 degree slope going back up, |a| = 8.66
m/s2.
What maximum height does it reach on the right side?

Galileo (1564-1642)
Developed the idea of experimental
science
Re-examined natural motion of objects and
how objects move
Made astronomical observations that
challenged Earth-centered solar system
model.

Newton (1642-1727)
Newton's work based on experiments of how
objects interact.
His laws of motion and law of gravity described
how all objects interact with each other.

Newton’s Zeroeth Law of Motion
Objects are dumb - They have no memory of the past and
cannot predict the future. Objects only know what acts
directly on them in a given moment.

Newton's First Law of Motion
Every object continues in a state of rest or a state of motion with a
constant speed in a straight line unless acted on by an unbalanced
force.

Newton's Second Law of Motion
When a force, Fnet, acts on an object with a mass, m, it produces an
acceleration, a, equal to the force divided by the mass.
a=
Fnet
m
acceleration is a change in speed or a change in direction of speed.
