Newton’s 1st Law The Law of Inertia Newton’s 1st Law Says.. Newtons first law of motion is often stated as: An object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in motion tends to stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. There are two parts to this statement – one which predicts the behavior of stationary objects and the other which predicts the behavior of moving objects. These two parts are summarized in the following diagram: Balanced and Unbalanced In more detail…. The behavior of all objects can be described by saying that objects tend to keep on doing what theyre doing (unless acted upon by an unbalanced force). If at rest, they will continue in this same state of rest. The state of motion of an object is maintained as long as the object is not acted upon by an unbalanced force. All objects resist changes in their state of motion – they tend to keep on doing what theyre doing. Other Examples of Newton’s 1st law: Several applications are listed below – Provide explanations for each application: (be specific- use Newton’s 1st law! ELEVATOR: blood rushes from your head to your feet when riding on a descending elevator which suddenly stops. Your blood wants to keep moving downward after the elevator has stopped! HAMMER: the head of a hammer can be tightened onto its wooden handle by banging the bottom of the handle against a hard surface. The hammer head keeps wanting to move downward after the handle stops. Even more examples… KETCHUP: to dislodge ketchup from the bottom of a ketchup bottle, the bottle is often turned upside down, thrust downward at a high speed and then abruptly halted. The ketchup itself keeps moving even after you stop the bottle! One more…. Exit Pass: Car and the wall Using Newton’s 1st law: Explain, (using complete sentences) Why is it essential that everyone wear a seatbelt while in a mov
