Stack of books on a car seat. What happens when you suddenly stop? Inertia - objects resistance to a change in motion Mass affects an objects inertia Increase mass = Lower mass = Increase inertia Lower inertia Seat belts and inertia Seat belts work because they keep your body from flying forward. If you get hit from behind will seatbelts or air bags help? No, you will fly back into the seat. Newton’s Second Law of Motion Force is equal to the mass of an object and its acceleration. Force = Mass x Acceleration F = m x a Force is measured in Newtons 1 N = 1 kg x 1 m/s2 or 1kgm/s2 ( 1 lb is = to 4.45 N or 1 N is = to .225 lb) Newton’s Second Law of Motion Newton’s second law explains how acceleration is dependant on force and mass. Newton’s Second Law of Motion Newton’s Second Law of Motion Newton’s second law could also be written as: - When a force is applied to an object, the object accelerates in the direction of the greater force. OR The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force on the object and inversely proportional to the object’s mass. Newton’s Second Law of Motion Acceleration = net force/mass or a = F/m Gravity Gravity - Force of attraction between two objects. - force of gravity depends on two variables: a. depends on mass larger = more gravity (attraction) smaller = less gravity (attraction) Gravity - force of gravity depends on two variables:(continued) b. depends on distance closer = more gravity (attraction) - further = less gravity (attraction) Weight A measurement that can be taken because of gravity is weight. Weight – force of gravity pulling on the
