Warm Up 510.25.11 What actually causes motion? In

other words, how do objects start, stop, or change direction?

DynamicsDynamics- the study of what causes motion- the study of what causes motion

Newton’s First Law of Motion – “Inertia”

GalileoGalileo

For 2000 years, people believed objects For 2000 years, people believed objects were naturally at rest.were naturally at rest.

Galileo used Galileo used experimentationexperimentation to disprove to disprove 2000 years of accepted belief in motion2000 years of accepted belief in motion

Galileo Galileo (1564- (1564- 1642)1642)

““An object, once An object, once placed in motion, will placed in motion, will move further until move further until another force brings another force brings it to a stop”.it to a stop”.

Implied that the Implied that the natural state of an natural state of an object is constant object is constant motion.motion.

What does this actually mean? ““Implied that the natural state of Implied that the natural state of

objects is continuous motion.”objects is continuous motion.”

What does this actually mean? ““Implied that the natural state of Implied that the natural state of

objects is continuous motion.”objects is continuous motion.”

Things stay in motion unless Things stay in motion unless something stops it.something stops it.

Galileo figured out the identity of that Galileo figured out the identity of that something and called it “Resistance”something and called it “Resistance”

Galileo’s Breakthrough #1Galileo’s Breakthrough #1

He realized that He realized that things slowed down things slowed down due to due to frictionfriction..

Friction opposes all Friction opposes all motion.motion.

Galileo’s Breakthrough #2

In the real world, we have friction. What if there was no friction?

What would happen to motion? Galileo hypothesized and

experimented discovered something entirely new.

In a frictionless world …In a frictionless world …

Objects will never stop, will go foreverObjects will never stop, will go forever Objects needs no force to keep it Objects needs no force to keep it

Newton incorporated this into his work and called the property “inertia”.

Newton’s First Law of Newton’s First Law of MotionMotion

The Law of InertiaThe Law of Inertia When no external , unbalanced force acts on an object When no external , unbalanced force acts on an object

its velocity remains constant.its velocity remains constant. oror If no net force acts on an object, it maintains its state of If no net force acts on an object, it maintains its state of

rest or its constant speed in a straight linerest or its constant speed in a straight line oror

An object at rest will remain at rest, An object at rest will remain at rest, an object in motion will remain in an object in motion will remain in motion in a straight line unless they motion in a straight line unless they are acted upon by an external force.are acted upon by an external force.

What is Inertia?

Inertia is a property of matter like color and mass.

Inertia is directly related to mass More mass, more inertia

Mass is a measurement of the amount of inertia and matter. mass = matter = inertia

But, what is inertia?

Inertia is the “laziness” of matter Matter does not like to change its

motion The more matter, the lazier it gets

More matter = harder to change

ExampleExample

An elephant at An elephant at rest has a lot of rest has a lot of “laziness” so it “laziness” so it has a greater has a greater tendency to tendency to remain at rest. remain at rest.

(hard to move)(hard to move)

ExampleExample

A runaway train at constant velocity A runaway train at constant velocity has a lot of “laziness” so it has a has a lot of “laziness” so it has a greater tendency to stay in motion. greater tendency to stay in motion.

(hard to stop)(hard to stop)

6 Notions of Force and 6 Notions of Force and MotionMotion

1. If there is motion, there is a force acting to 1. If there is motion, there is a force acting to keep an object in motion.keep an object in motion.

2. There cannot be a force without motion- if 2. There cannot be a force without motion- if there is no motion then there is no force there is no motion then there is no force acting.acting.

3. When an object moving there is a force in 3. When an object moving there is a force in the direction of motion.the direction of motion.

Difference between Mass and Weight

Differentiating Mass and Differentiating Mass and WeightWeight Mass measures the amount of matter

Mass is a scalar

Does the amount of matter change when an object is moved from the earth into space?

Differentiating Mass and Differentiating Mass and WeightWeight Weight depends on the mass of an

object TIMES the acceleration due to gravity. Weight is a FORCE and a vector.

Compare your mass and your weight Divide your weight in pounds by 2.2.

This is your mass in kg

What is your weight on the moon where gravity is 1/6th the earth’s?

What is your mass on the moon?

Forces

Force

SI unit – Newton; N A force needed to accelerate a 1 kg

mass 1 m/s every second. 1kg*m/s2 = 1N A vector quantity

A force is a push or a pull A force can cause

1. a stationary object to move 2. a moving object to stop 3. an object to accelerate (change speed

or direction)

Net Force - Resultant Force Net force – the combination of all the

forces acting on an object.

The net force changes an object’s state of motion.

Balanced force – Net force is equal to zero Object remains at rest

What are the forces acting on this book?

1. Gravitational Force (Weight)

2. Normal Force (Support Force)The net force on the book is 0N. The forces acting on the book are balanced and the book is in a state of equilibrium.
