1st Law of Motion

Sir Isaac Newton Biography

If an object is not moving, it will not start moving by itself. If an object is moving, it will not stop or change direction unless something pushes it.

2nd Law of Motion

3rd Law of Motion

Objects will move farther and faster when they are pushed harder.

When an object is pushed in one direction, there is always a resistance of the same size in the opposite direction.

Vocabulary

Resistance: the impeding, slowing, or stopping effect exerted by one material thing on another.

1st Law of Motion

An object at rest remains at rest, and an object in motion remains in motion at constant speed and in a straight line unless acted on by an unbalanced force.

2nd Law of Motion

3rd Law of Motion

The acceleration of an object depends on the mass of the object and the amount of force applied.

Whenever one object exerts a force on another object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite on the first.

Force

Momentum

F = (m1 V1 – m0 V0) / (t1 – t0)

F = m * (V1 – V0) / (t1 – t0)

F = m * a

An aircraft’s motion resulting from aerodynamic forces, aircraft weight, and thrust.

The motion of an airplane when a pilot changes the throttle setting of an engine.

The motion of a ball falling down through the atmosphere.

A model rocket being launched up into the atmosphere.

The motion of a kite when the wind changes.

Examples

The motion of lift from an airfoil, the air is deflected downward by the airfoil’s action, and in reaction, the wing is pushed upward.

The motion of a spinning ball, the air is deflected to one side, and the ball reacts by moving in the opposite direction.

The motion of a jet engine produces thrust and hot exhaust gases flow out the back of the engine, and a thrusting force is produced in the opposite direction.

Standards

Plan and conduct an investigation to compare the effects of different strengths or different directions of pushes and pulls on the motion of an object.

Analyze data to determine if a design solution works as intended to change the speed or direction of an object with a push or a pull.

Practical Examples

Theoretical Application

Standards

Analyze data to support the claim that Newton’s second law of motion describes the mathematical relationship among the net force on a macroscopic object, its mass, and its acceleration.
