Force is measured in newtons. A newton is based on base units in the metric system. What is a newton equal to in terms of units of mass and acceleration
A newton is a equal to the mass in kg x acceleration of object is m/s/s
If you double the force of an object what happens to the acceleration?
Acceleration doubles
If you increase the force on an object what happens to the acceleration?
Acceleration is directly proportional to mass, in this example it will accelerate as fast or faster depending on the decreased mass.
If you use the same force on a less massive object what happens to the acceleration?
Acceleration is inversely proportional to mass, in this example it will accelerate as fast of faster depending on the decreased mass
If you double the mass of an object what happens to the acceleration
Accelerations is halved
Forces come in pairs. What are these pairs called?
Action and reaction forces
What causes an object to slowdown or speed-up?
An external force acting on an object
Restate Newton's first law in terms of acceleration.
An object not accelerating will maintain its velocity if its in motion or stay still if its at rest
What is required to cause acceleration?
An unbalanced force
. Imagine a place in the cosmos far from all gravitational and frictional influences. Suppose that you visit that place (just suppose) and throw a rock. What will the rock do? Why?
Continuously move in the direction you throw it. Newton's first law.
If you double the mass of an object while leaving the net force unchanged what is the result on the acceleration?
Doubling the mass will halve the acceleration
If you double the net force on an object what is the result on the acceleration?
Doubling the net force will double the acceleration
CHALLENGE: What is the mass of an object that needs a force of 6 600 N to increase its speed from rest to 107 m/s in 2.3 seconds?

True or False: Once the object hits the water, the forces are balanced and the object will stop. Support your answer with reasoning.
Forces are balanced in the pool, but the box will continue to sink
If an object is not accelerating what can you determine about the sum of all the forces on the object?
Forces are balanced.
Why doesn't a ball roll on forever after being kicked at a soccer game?
Frictional forces, air resistance all working to resist motion
If the force are balanced what is the resulting acceleration
If forces are balanced, there's no acceleration
An object's resistance to change in motion is dependent solely on what quantity?
Inertia
When Jane drives to work, she always places her purse on the passenger's seat. By the time she gets to work, her purse has fallen on the floor in front of the passenger seat. One day, she asks you to explain why this happens in terms of physics. What do you say?
Law of interia, every time she stops
Inertia is the resistance to change in motion so inertia depends solely on what?
Mass
What two variables is acceleration dependent on? What is the relationship between these variables and acceleration? (i.e. if you increase one variable what happens to the acceleration?)
Mass and force, more force equals greater acceleration, more mass equals less acceleration
If the net force on an object is in a negative direction, what will the direction of the resulting acceleration be?
Resulting acceleration will be in negative direction
Which law is associated with inertia?
The first law
You are waiting in line to use the diving board at your local pool. While watching people dive into the pool from the board, you realize that using a diving board to spring into the air before a dive is a good example of Newton's third law of motion. Explain how a diving board illustrates Newton's third law of motion
The force you pin into the diving board gets returned back to you and helps you gain a higher jump off the board
Ben Tooclose is being chased through the woods by a bull moose which he was attempting to photograph. The enormous mass of the bull moose is extremely intimidating. Yet, if Ben makes a zigzag pattern through the woods, he will be able to use the large mass of the moose to his own advantage. Explain this in terms of inertia and Newton's first law of motion.
The more massive moose has more inertia, making it more difficult to zigzag than a smaller less massive person with less mass
Which law explains why when you bump into something you fall backwards?
The third law, action/ reaction
2. Supposing you were in space in a weightless environment, would it require a force to set an object in motion? Explain.
Yes, to change the state of motion of an object requires force
