Speech 3: Applied Speech with PowerPoint and Q&A Sessions
Applied Speech: Audience Assessment
Specific Goal:
My audience will learn what Newton's Second Law is and why it's important.
Application:
To a school class.
Ethos: Primary Ethos: I am a physics major.
Secondary Ethos: I will cite 3 references out loud in my speech.
Audience Assessment: Some knowledge of the topic.
Adaptation to Audience: Explain what it is, where it comes from, and what it means.
Pattern of Organization: Topically
*************************************************************************
Applied Speech: Key-Word Outline
Newton's Second Law
Introduction:
Hook: In order to be able to get in to the complicated world of quantum physics like I want to, you
need to understand the building blocks of physics, one of which being Newton's second law.
Thesis: Newton's second law is a cornerstone of the classical model of physics.
Preview:
1.
What is the law?
2.
What this means
3.
What comes from this law
Transition: First, we'll begin with what Newton's second law actually is.

I.

What is the law?

A.

Body:

First presented Principia Mathematica Philosophiae Naturalis 1686

i. [[ FROM - NASA's website ]]
ii. Presented 3 laws together

B.

Force = change momentum w/ change time

i.
ii.
iii.
iv.

C.

Momentum = (mass x velocity)

Velocity = (Change position / time)
Acceleration = (change velocity / time)
Velocity/Force/Acceleration/Momentum Vector quantities (factor in)

2 Equations
i. [[ FROM BOTH- PhysicsClassroom.com (helps teach) & Hyperphysics (U of Georgia Prof,
Biggest Collection ]]
ii. netForce = mass x acceleration
1. Constant Mass
a. ~ airplane (only lose little fuel)
iii. netForce = (mass1 x Velocity1 mass0 x Velocity0) / (time1 time0)
1. Not Constant
a. ~ bottle rocket (lose fuel, big part of rocket)

D.

How Force Affects Motion

i. w/Mass changes acceleration

ii. Doesn't cause motion, DOES cause acceleration

Transition: So now that you know what the law actually is, we'll go over what this means.
II.

What this means

A.

Able to compare
i. diff forces on same object
1.
Type of fuel - distance
ii. diff objects same force
1.
Plane/ bottle rocket (so different)
iii. [[ FROM Hyperphysics ]]

B.

Able to use part to solve for others

i. a=f/m
ii. m=f/a

C.

Use to consider motion

i. From Molecules Cars Galaxies

Transition: And then finally, what else do we get based on this?

III.

What comes from this law?

A.

Work

i. What is it?
1. W = netForce x displacement x Cosine(theta)
a. Cosine angle force to direction of displacement
b. Cosine 0 = 1 (force same direction as displacement)
2. Measured in joules
ii. [[ FROM PhysicsClassroom ]]
iii. Use to get Power
B.

Energy
i. What is it?
1. Kinetic
2. Potential

Conclusion:
Cornerstone of Classical Model of Physics
netForce = m x a
Derive things from it
Crazy everything comes from a simple rule

Prepare to Answer Questions

Why did you say classical model of physics?
-Because when you get really really small in to the quantum (smaller than atoms) world, things behave
different than they do on a larger scale, so it's good to differentiate that you're using the classical model.
Forces are that simple? I thought physics was hard?
-This is a simplification. Here we're assuming that things like air resistance, tension, and friction are
negligible. When you want to make a real model based on all the actual forces things get much more
complicated, but physics is just applied math, so as long as you can identify all the forces, then it's just
math from there to find what you're looking for.
