1. AIM: What are Newton’s three laws, and how do they describe how an object behaves? Do Now: - Draw a Free Body Diagram for the block below if 1. it is at rest. 2. If it is moving to the right at a constant velocity. 3. If it is accelerating to the left.

2. Calculating the Force of Gravity The force of gravity acting on an object is also known as the objects weight – weight is not mass! – Mass NEVER changes The force of gravity (F g ) in Newtons, acting on an object depends on – the objects mass (m) in kilograms – the acceleration due to gravity (g) in m/s 2 (changes if you are not on Earth) The formula is F g = mg

3. The Newton The Newton is the unit of any force. It is a derived unit, which means it is a combination of other fundamental units. To determine the fundamental units a Newton is made up of 1.Find a formula for force 2.Plug in the unit for each variable 3.Combine the units

4. Calculating Weight What is the weight of a 60Kg physics student? A car weighs 20,000N. What is the car’s mass?

5. Newton’s 3 laws 1 st law: The Law of Inertia – An object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in constant velocity motion will stay in constant velocity motion unless acted on by a net (unbalanced) force. – INERTIA is an object’s “want” to resist a change in motion – INERTIA depends ONLY on the objects mass The more massive, the more inertia regardless of the speed of the object. 2 nd Law: The law of acceleration – F net = ma Ex: what is the acceleration of a 3kg mass being acted on by a unbalanced force of 6N? 3 rd Law: The law of action-reaction forces – ANY force acting on an object, has an equal and opposite reaction force – Force of “A” on “B” is equal and opposite to the force of “B” on “A”

6. Newton’s 1 st law- objects in equilibrium When an object is in equilibrium, the sum of all the forces acting on the object is zero. We can make this statement more specific by saying – The sum of all the y-components of the forces are equal to zero – The sum of all the x-components of the forces are equal to zero.

8. Newton’s 2 nd Law F net =ma When solving force problems, ALWAYS follow these steps Step 1: find the motion statement in the problem.

IN EQUILIBRIUM – opposite forces are equal ACCELERATING – the vector sum of the forces =ma Step 4: solve
