Intro
NEWTON’S LAWS OF MOTION
(LAW OF INERTIA)
Law of Inertia
- the natural tendency of an object to remain in a state of rest or in uniform
motion in a straight line (first introduced by Galileo).
- Mass – quantitative measure of inertia of a body
- Force – action exerted upon by a body that changes its state, either at rest
or of uniform motion along a straight line. In Newton’s 1st law, the force is
unbalanced.
Therefore: The larger the mass of a body, the more difficult to change its state of motion.
The large man has more inertia – more force is necessary to start him swinging and also
to stop him – due to his greater inertia
Mass and Inertia
Quickly pull the paper and the stack of quarters tend to stay in place due to inertia.
• Because of the relationship between motion and inertia:
• Newton’s First Law of Motion is sometimes called the Law of Inertia.
• Seatbelts help ‘correct’ for this law during sudden changes in speed.
Remember:
The greater the mass of an object the
greater the inertia
NEWTON’S LAWS OF MOTION
(LAW OF ACCELERATION)
Newton’s 2nd Law & Force of Gravity
• Gravity: the force that pulls objects towards
each other
• Since gravity is a force it also obeys Newton’s
second law
Since objects fall at the same speed,
their acceleration is the same.
All objects accelerate at the rate.
Here on Earth the rate is:
Ag=9.8 m/s2
Or
Ag=32 ft/s2 Air resistance keeps things
from falling equally
Law of Acceleration
- deals with the effect of net force on the change in velocity or acceleration
Section 3.3
F = ma
• “F” is the net force (unbalanced), which is likely the
vector sum of two or more forces.
• “m” & “a” are concerning the whole system
• Units
• Force = mass x acceleration = kg x m/s2 = N
• N = kg-m/s2 = newton -- this is a derived unit
and is the metric system (SI) unit of force

NEWTON’S LAWS OF MOTION
(LAW OF INTERACTION)
Newton’s Third Law of Motion
• For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Law of Interaction states that, whenever on object exerts a force on
a second object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite
force on the first object.
• "when two bodies collide with one another, the total energy remains
constant“
• The momentum lost by the loaded cart should equal the momentum
gained by the dropped brick.
Law of Momentum Conservation
Newton’s Cradle
Law of Momentum Conservation
Law of Momentum Conservation
v = 5.0m/s
Impulse
• Impulse = Force x time
• F x t = M x Δv
Example:
1. Jennifer, who has a mass of 50.0 kg, is riding at 35.0 m/s in her red
sports car when she must suddenly slam on the brakes to avoid
hitting a deer crossing the road. She strikes the air bag, that brings
her body to a stop in 0.500 s. What average force does the seat belt
exert on her?
F = 3500 N
Example:
2. If Jennifer had not been wearing her seat belt and not had an air
bag, then the windshield would have stopped her head in 0.002 s.
What average force would the windshield have exerted on her?
F = 875,000 N
