1 Vocabulary Term A push or pull. Definition Inertia Newton The resistance of a body to changes to its state of motion. The metric unit of force. Net The sum of all forces acting on an object. Newton s 1 st Law An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted on by an unbalanced force; an object in motion continues with constant speed and direction in a straight line unless acted on by an unbalanced force. Newton s 2 nd Law = mass x acceleration Newton s 3 rd Law For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. 1 Page

2 Newton s 1 st Law of Motion Newton s 1 st Law of motion Main Ideas is also know as the law of Inertia Definition of inertia: An object at rest will remain at rest an object in motion continues with constant speed and direction in a straight line The resistance of a body to changes to its state of motion. Unless acted upon by an A push or pull. Applying Newton s 1 st Law of motion Explain according to Newton s 1 st law of motion what would happen to the person in the car NEWTON S below if they FIRST crashed LAW into OF the MOTION wall using (aka: the terms ) inertia, state of motion, and unbalanced States: force. An The Object person and the car both have inertia, thus will continue in motion unless an unbalanced force acts on them. When the car crashes into the wall and unbalanced force acts upon the car to change its state of motion, the car stops; however, there is no unbalanced force acting on the person so they continue moving forward. 2 Page

3 Inertia is the property of an object that resists changes in motion. Class Work 1. Which has more inertia a bowling ball or a golf ball? Bowling Ball 2. Objects with more mass have more inertia and are more resistant to changes in their motion. 3. Mac and Tosh are arguing in the cafeteria. Mac says that if he flings the Jell-O with a greater speed it will have a greater inertia. Tosh argues that inertia does not depend upon speed, but rather upon mass. Who do you agree with? Explain why. Tosh because inertia depends on mass and mass alone. 4. Fred spends most Sunday afternoons at rest on the sofa, watching pro football games and consuming large quantities of food. What effect (if any) does this practice have upon his inertia? Explain. Increases inertia. 3 Page

4 Notes Newton s Second Law John and Joe have a grocery cart race. John pushes a loaded grocery cart; Joe pushes an empty grocery cart. Joe wins the race. Why? Joes has less mass to push, thus can accelerate his cart faster. John Joe Joe and his little brother Junior have a grocery cart race. Joe wins the race. Why? Joe can push with a greater force than junior can. Joe Junior 1. When a grocery cart is pushed by a person, a(n) unbalanced force acts on the cart and the cart accelerates. 4 Page

Newton s 2 nd Law of Motion states: The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on the object and inversely proportional to the object s mass. 2 nd law abbreviated using symbols: F = ma F = sum of the forces m = mass a = acceleration Newton s 2 nd law relates the net force on an object, the mass of the object, and acceleration. It states that the stronger the net force on an object, the faster the object will accelerate. If twice the net force is applied, the acceleration will be twice as great. The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net applied force and inversely proportional to the mass. (in other words if the force increases, the acceleration increases and if the mass increases the acceleration decreases.)
