NEWTON'S LAW OF MOTION BY. DEVIN FRAZIER
FORCE AND MASS
- FORCE- TO PUSH OR PULL SOMETHING HAVE TO USE FORCE TO CHANGE AN OBJECT'S MOTION
- VECTOR-SHOWS MAGNITUDE AND DIRECTION
TYPES OF FORCES
- CONTACT FORCE-acts on a point of an object by direct contact
- example-kicking ball
- FIELD FORCE-the region of space surrounding a body
- example-gravitation field or a magnet
FORCE AND MASS
- MASS-measurement of how difficult it is to change the objects speed
- INERTIA-resistance to change in speed
- so mass is a measurement of an objects inertia
NEWTONS LAWS OF MOTION
An object will keep doing what it was doing unless acted on by an unbalanced force
if an object was sitting still it would stay stationary if it was moving at a constant speed it will keep moving
it takes force to change the motion of an object
EXAMPLES
A soccer ball was sitting still. it takes an unbalanced force of a kick to change its motion
Two teams are fighting over rope and their pulling the rope their putting equal force on the rope the balance of both people pulling the rope ends up not changing the motion at all
NEWTON'S FIRST LAW(LAW OF INERTIA)
Inertia-the tendency of an object to resist changes in its current state of motion. All objects have inertia. the more mass an object has the more inertia it has.
EXAMPLE OF FIRST LAW
A truck starts to pull trucks that were standing still. since the trucks were so big they have a lot of inertia so it will take a large force to change their motion. once they are moving it takes a large force to stop them
NEWTONS SECOND LAW
Force equals mass times acceleration
F=MA
acceleration-a measurement of how quickly an object is changing speed
balanced forces cause no acceleration
unbalanced forces cause acceleration
small force=small acceleration
large force= large acceleration
f=ma means that the force of an object comes from its mass and its acceleration
1 NEWTON = 1 KG M/S2
HIGH MASS
something that's changing speed very slowly like a glacier
LOW MASS
changing speed very quickly like a bullet
NEWTON'S THIRD LAW
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
For every force acting on an object there is an equal force acting in the opposite direction gravity is pulling you down in your seat but newtons third law says your seat is pushing you up against you with equal force that"s why you are not moving.
earth is pulled up by the boulder with as much force as the boulder is pulled by earth
newtons first law-objects in motion tend to stay in motion and objects at rest to stay at rest unless acted upon by an unbalanced force
newtons second law-force equals mass times acceleration(F=mass)
newtons third law-for every action there is an opposite reaction
