Newton s First Law Newton I (as commonly stated) An object in motion will stay in motion with constant velocity and an object at rest will stay at rest, unless acted upon by a (non-zero) net force. An object for these purposes is something with mass.

Velocity and Newton s First Law If an object is in motion and there is zero net force on the object, does the speed or velocity have to be constant?

Velocity and Newton s First Law If an object is in motion and there is zero net force on the object, does the speed or velocity have to be constant? Both are constant! Neither the speed or the direction of motion can change.

Galileo and Inertia As we said earlier, Galileo had already proposed the idea of inertia when he considered balls rolling on inclined surfaces.

Galileo and Inertia As we said earlier, Galileo had already proposed the idea of inertia when he considered balls rolling on inclined surfaces. Inertia (from the Latin word for lazy) is the tendency of objects to stay doing whatever they are already doing, unless they are interfered with. Galileo s idea of inertia: A body moving on a level surface will continue in the same direction at a constant speed unless disturbed. Newton specifically understood the disturbance to be a net force.

Newton s First Law This was a really radical idea in the 1600s. In our everyday environment, everything seems to naturally slow to a stop. 1 Figure from JPL.

Newton s First Law This was a really radical idea in the 1600s. In our everyday environment, everything seems to naturally slow to a stop. But we now know of other environments where there are very few resistive forces and we see this behavior. 1 Figure from JPL.

Newton s First Law Newton I (another way to state it) If an object does not interact with other objects, it is possible to identify a reference frame in which the object has zero acceleration. A zero-acceleration reference frame is called an inertial reference frame. 1 The situation is different in the theory of general relativity.

Newton s First Law Newton I (another way to state it) If an object does not interact with other objects, it is possible to identify a reference frame in which the object has zero acceleration. A zero-acceleration reference frame is called an inertial reference frame. All frames that move with constant velocity relative to an inertial frame, are also inertial frames. 1 1 The situation is different in the theory of general relativity.

Newton s econd Law Galileo also proposed the concept of acceleration, but Newton realized: acceleration net Force (Remember net force is the sum of all the forces on an object) If the net force on an object is doubled, the acceleration is twice as big also.

Newton s econd Law The really important one. Newton II In an inertial reference frame, the sum of the forces (net force) on an object is equal to the mass of the object times its acceleration: F net = m a F net = i F i where F i are individual separate forces that we sum to get the net force. (We are assuming the mass of the object is constant.)

Newton s econd Law F net = m a Acceleration is directly proportional to the net force and in the same direction. The constant of proportionality is the mass, m. Alternatively, given a net force, the acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

Units of Force Newton s second law gives us units for force. F net = ma Newtons, N = (kg) (ms 2 ) 1N = 1 kg m s 2 : on Earth s surface there are roughly 10 N per kg. Why?

Mass vs. Weight mass, m A measure of the amount of matter in an object. Also, a measure of the inertia of an object, that is, its resistance to changes in its motion. weight The force due to gravity on an object. Weight is a force. It is measured in Newtons (N) as are all forces. weight = mg Weight depends on mass, m. The mass that appears in the equation above is sometimes called the gravitational mass. Mass is an amount of stuff, measured in kilograms (kg).

Mass and Inertia Mass is also a measure of resistance to acceleration. For a constant net applied force: acceleration 1 mass The mass, m, in the equation F net = ma is sometimes called inertial mass.

Weight and acceleration Let the weight of an object be written F g. F g = mg Mass in this equation is sometimes called gravitional mass.

Weight and acceleration Let the weight of an object be written F g. F g = mg Mass in this equation is sometimes called gravitional mass. We can find the acceleration of an object when the only force on it is due to gravity: a = F g m = mg m = g As we would expect! This is because the inertial mass is the same as the gravitational mass. That is why all objects, no matter their mass, fall at the same rate (with the same acceleration).

We will make a mathematical model of it. Everything that is not part of the system, but interacts with it, is part of the environment. We do not describe the environment mathematically.
