NEWTON'S LAW OF MOTION PROJECT

NEWTON'S FIRST LAW

• An object at rest remains at rest, and an object in motion remains in motion at a constant speed and in a straight line unless acted on by an unbalanced force.
• Newton’s first law of motion describes the motion of an object that has a net force of 0N acting on it.
• Newton’s first law is sometimes called the law of inertia. Inertia is the tendency of all objects to resist any change in motion.
• 2 Parts
• Part 1: Objects at Rest: Objects at rest will stay at rest unless they are acted on by an unbalanced force.
• Part 2: Objects in Motion: Objects will continue to move with the same velocity unless an unbalanced force.

NEWTON'S SECOND LAW

• The acceleration of an object depends on the mass of the object and the amount of force applied.
• Newton’s second law describes the motion of an object when an unbalanced force acts on the object
• Part 1: Acceleration Depends on Mass The acceleration of an object decreases as its mass increases. Its acceleration increases as its mass decreases. Part 2: Acceleration Depends on Force An object’s acceleration increases as the force on the object increases. The acceleration of an object is always in the same direction as the force applied.
• Newton’s Second law can also be expressed mathematically: F = ma

NEWTON'S THIRD LAW

• Whenever one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite force on the first.
• Newton’s third law of motion can be simply stated as follows: All forces act in pairs.
• When a force is exerted, there is always a reaction force.
• Action and Reaction
