NEWTON’S LAWS OF MOTION The 2nd and 3rd Law REVIEW NEWTON’S FIRST LAW OF MOTION: Every object continues in its state of rest, or uniform velocity in a straight line, as long as no net force acts on it. MASS: measure of the inertia of an object FORCE: measure of the magnitude and direction of the interactions Newton’s Second Law of Motion Why objects change velocity? What happens if force acts: -in direction of motion -opposite the direction of motion -sideways What is the relation between acceleration and force? What is the relation between mass and force? Statement of the 2nd Law The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it, and is inversely proportional to its mass. The direction of the acceleration is in the direction of the net force acting on an object If the mass is constant we can write Find the acceleration... …and some more Newton’s Third Law of Motion Whenever an object exerts a force on a second object, the second exerts an equal force in the opposite direction on the first. Force on an object and by an object How is a car accelerating forward? Which force makes us walk? Why you feel hurt when you kick the wall? How do birds fly? IMPORTANT: only force exerted on an object influences the motion, not the force exerted by an object itself Questions 1. While driving, Anna observed a bug striking the windshield of her car. Obviously, a case of Newtons third law of motion. The bug hit the windshield and the windshield hit the bug. Which of the two forces is greater: the force on the bug or the force on the windshield? Rockets are unable to accelerate in space because ... A-there is no air in space for the rockets to push off of. B-there is no gravity is in space. C-there is no air resistance in space. D-... nonsense! Rockets do accelerate in space. . A gun recoils when it is fired. The recoil is the result of action-reaction force pairs. As the gases from the gunpowder explosion expand, the gun pushe
