1 Newton’s 1 st Law of Motion

2 Isaac Newton  Scientist, mathematician, and philosopher  Established his three laws of motion in the late 1600’s

3 Newton’s 1 st Law of Motion An object in motion stays in motion and an object at rest stays at rest unless acted upon by a net force. Video clip

4 Inertia  Tendency of an object to resist change in motion  Measured by mass

5 Force is not needed for velocity to exist. Force is needed to change a velocity. Having a velocity is “FREE”, changing a velocity “costs” force. Think about examples in space, where there is no force of friction or gravity…

6 How are these examples of Newton’s 1 st law?  Shaking ketchup out of a bottle…  Riding on a skateboard and hitting a curb… You get the ketchup and bottle moving, then your hand applies a force that stops the bottle but no force pulls back on the ketchup so it keeps going. You and the skateboard are moving, the curb applies a force to stop the skateboard but none on you so you keep going forward.
