Newton’s Laws of Motion

• First Law: An object will maintain a constant velocity if there is no net force acting on it.

• speed: how fast an object’s position changes measured by speedometers, radar guns

• velocity: speed and direction of travel measured by weather vanes

Newton’s Laws of Motion• acceleration: how fast velocity changes 3 ways to accelerate a car:

GAS PEDAL (change speed)

BRAKE PEDAL

STEERING WHEEL (change direction)

Newton’s Laws of Motion

• Second Law: For an unbalanced force,

a: acceleration (units: )

m: mass (units: kg)

F: force (units: Newton = )

• force: strength and direction of a push or pull any effort that can cause acceleration

MASS REDUCES ACCELERATION

trying to blow up a BIG asteroid is not a great idea…

… even a big explosion wouldn’t accelerate it much Newton’s Second Law

… fragments would keep moving in mostly the same direction Newton’s First Law

Explosion…Bad!

Orbits are Curved PathsNewton’s First Law says: If object travels on a curved

path, there MUST BE an unbalanced force.

FORCE

Newton’s Second Law says: object accelerates (turns) in direction of unbalanced force

force is NOT pushing planet forward

force IS pulling toward inside of orbit (toward Sun)

and road)

Weight on Planets

planet’s gravity is made up of pulls from every bit of its mass…

The bigger the planet, the farther you are from most of the mass

strength of force is same as if WHOLE mass is distance d = Rplanet away

which creates an acceleration:

Two different masses dropped at same time hit ground at same time…

equal accelerations!

that doesn’t depend on the mass of the object dropping!
