Forces and First Law C Notes 2012

This document discusses forces and Newton's First Law of Motion. It explains that there are three main types of forces - push, pull, and rotational - which are described by their magnitude and direction. Unbalanced forces cause objects to change their motion by starting, stopping, changing speed or direction. Balanced forces occur when forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, resulting in no net force and no change in movement. Newton's First Law states that an object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion, unless acted upon by an unbalanced force, demonstrating inertia. The larger the mass of an object, the more inertia it has to resist changes to its motion.

Title: Forces and Newtons First Law


Why does an object move? Why does an object change direction?
Why does an object stop or start to move?
There are three main types of forces:

What is a force?

PUSH: _________________________________________________________________
PULL: __________________________________________________________________
ROTATIONAL:_____________________________________________________________

Described by:
MAGNITUDE ( ______________________)
DIRECTION
UNITS MEASURED IN NEWTONS.

UNBALANCED FORCES
UNBALANCED FORCES _________________ the motion of an object.

UNBALANCED
FORCES

They cause a change in movement when an object:


starts moving
Summary:
stops moving
When forces are in the
moves faster or slower
__________________ direction
changes directions

(then strength doesnt matter)

1 direction

FORCE 1

NET FORCE GREATER THAN ZERO

FORCE 2

UNBALANCED
FORCES

*******************************************************************************
Summary:
When one force is bigger.

When forces are in the


____________________ direction
(then there must be
_______________ strength)

It causes objects to move, stop,


and change directions.

OVERALL DIRECTION

Example:
walking the dog

BALANCED FORCES
BALANCED FORCES BALANCED FORCES mean ____________________ in the motion of an object.

2 forces cancel each other = No net force

Answer
FORCES
1.

SUMMARY:
a balanced force can only happen
when forces are:
in ___________________ direction
and have the ____________ strength.

The net force will then be equal to 0.


THERE IS NO CHANGE IN MOVEMENT

Examples:
1.

BALANCED
OR
NOT?

2.

2.

3.

3.
NEWTONS FIRST LAW OF MOTION THE LAW OF INERTIA

THE LAW OF
INERTIA

An object at rest will ______________________________________________________


And an object in motion will _______________________________________________
at __________________________
UNLESS acted upon by an _________________ force.
This means there is a tendency of objects to ___________________________________.

BIG IDEAS!

The larger the mass, the more ____________________________


________________________________.

There are forces that exist in nature that create


movement and allow objects to become stationary.
Without forces, we would have mayhem.
Newtons 1st Law (of inertia) summarizes this
