NEWTONS LAWS

Newtons Laws
! For a body to move it requires _______
! This can be from a push or a ______.
! For an object to move, force must be
exerted on it in one form or another.
! Force can be exerted internally, for
example muscles in the human body, like
when ...

INERTIA

A 20kg dumbell has more inertia than

a 5kg dumbell.
A truck has more inertia than a bike.

For each of these objects, which

requires more force to move in the
first place?
Once they are moving, which are
harder to stop.
 Newtons Laws
So what is Inertia then?

Inertia is a bodys _____________

to change from its current state of
motion.
 Newtons Laws
Momentum

Momentum is made up by Mass and Velocity

combined. (Momentum = M x V)

The size and the speed of an object determines its

momentum

Momentum is always conserved. When a collision

occurs, momentum is transferred.
 Newtons Laws
Newtons First Law

An object will stay at rest, unless acted upon by an

external force.

1. A football will stay still until it is kicked.

2. _______________________________
3. _______________________________
4. _______________________________
5. A bike will not go forward until someone pedals
it.
 Newtons Laws
Newtons Second Law

An the acceleration of an object is proportional to

the amount of force acting on it.

1. If Andy Roddick hits a tennis ball as hard as he

can, the ball will travel/accelerate at a great rate,
compared to your Nana.
2. A Porshe engine exerts more force on the body of
the car, compared to a Suzuki Swift.
3. _____________________________________
4. _____________________________________
 Newtons Laws
Newtons Third Law

For every action, there is an equal and opposite

reaction.

Action Reaction

1. Kicking the side of the rugby
ball
2. Bouncing a ball against the
ground.
3. Pushing your feet against the
ground hard.
4. ___________________
5. ___________________
1. The ball reacting off the foot
and travelling away from it.
2. The floor pushing it back up
3.
3. The floor pushing back (lift off
for a jump).
