Newton’s Laws of Motion

1. If no external force acts on a particle,or all the forces are balanced, then the particle moves without any change in velocity

if it was in rest if it was in motionit stays at rest it stays in motion

NEWTON’S LAWS OF MOTION

Notice that the behaviour of objects around usis usually affected by air resistance and friction

NEWTON’S LAWS OF MOTION

2. If unbalanced external net force acts upon an object then the object moves with the acceleration directly proportional to the magnitude of this force and in the same directionand inversely proportional to the massof that object

NEWTON’S LAWS OF MOTION

The phenomenon of falling is ruled by the Newton’s second law.

The force acting is the gravitational force

The acceration is on the surface of Earthalways the same:

g = 9.81 m/s2

Fg = mg

3. Whenever A exerts a force on B,B simultaneously exerts a force on Awith the same magnitude and opposite direction

FALL & THROW• If there is no initial horizontal componentVh = 0trajectory is linear

• Non-zero horizontal componentVh ≠ 0trajectory is parabolic

• Both horizontal and vertical components are non zeroVh ≠ 0VV ≠ 0 trajectory is also parabolic

• What if VV < 0 yes, trajectory is also parabolic

Demo

Accelerated Motion

double v = m_sprite.GetSpeed(); v += 10; m_sprite.SetSpeed(v); ... // code above – before Update!m_sprite.Update(GetTime());

or:

m_sprite.SetSpeed(m_sprite.GetSpeed() + 10);

DEMO

Free Fall

double vx = m_sprite.GetXVelocity(); double vy = m_sprite.GetYVelocity(); vy -= 10; m_sprite.SetVelocity(vx, vy);

or:

m_sprite.SetVelocity(m_sprite.GetXVelocity(), m_sprite.GetYVelocity()-10);

DEMO

Bounce

if (m_ball.GetBottom() >= 600 && m_ball.GetYVelocity() < 0)

m_ball.SetVelocity(m_ball.GetXVelocity(), -0.8 * m_ball.GetYVelocity());
