Newton’s Laws --Don’t cross the Newton. You’ll get figged.
Newton’s laws • An object in motion tends to stay in motion unless acted upon by an outside, net force • An object accelerates proportional to the net force exerted upon it, inversely proportional to its mass. • For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Newton’s First Law • …also known as “inertia” • An object in motion tends to stay in motion, an object at rest tends to stay at rest…

Does anything remain in motion? • So what causes objects to come to rest?
Does anything remain in motion? • So what causes objects to come to rest? Friction Happens
Friction opposes motion V F The surfaces in contact cause friction
Decrease friction • Wheels • Skates/skis • Sleds • Lubricants • Magnetic levitation Increase friction • Brakes • Rubber tires • Tread on tires/shoes • Spikes
Even without a surface… V Air resistance …air resistance will slow moving objects
Decrease air resistance • Streamlining • Slowing down (Professional cyclists shave their legs!) Increase air resistance • Parachutes • Sails • Airfoils
Frames of reference • Suppose a kayaker can paddle at 1.8 m/s, and she is on a river flowing at 1.5 m/s. • If she is paddling downstream, how fast is she moving with respect to: • The water? • The riverbank? • If she is paddling upstream, how fast is she moving with respect to: • The water? • The riverbank?
Definition --A push or a pull. --must be exerted on an object
Forces • A force is a push or a pull. • It has a DIRECTION! 5N East 7N West 15N North
Forces • A force can cause acceleration. • …this object accelerates to the east 5N East
Forces • A force can cause acceleration. • …or not. The object’s weight pushes it against the surface
Forces • The acceleration of an object is a result of the forces acting upon it. A object’s weight pulls it down The cart starts to move west as the horse begins to pull
Forces • The units on a force are Newtons • (Remember? Newton’s Laws of motion?)
Forces • A one Newton force will accelerate a 1 kg object at one m/s2 1N=1kgm/s2 1 kg A 1 N force will accelerate a 1kg object at 1 m/s2
Forces • A one Newton force will accelerate a 1 kg object at one m/s2 1N=1kgm/s2 .5 kg A 1 N force will accelerate a .5kg object at 2 m/s2
Forces • A one Newton force will accelerate a 1 kg object at one m/s2 1N=1kgm/s2 2 kg A 1 N force will accelerate a 2kg object at .5 m/s2
Newton’s Second Law • The acceleration of an object is proportional to the net force acting on it, and inversely proportional to the object’s mass. a=F/m or F=ma
Centripetal force An object moving in a curved path is acted upon by a centripetal force
