Chapter 3 newton's first law
- 1. Chapter 3 Newton's First Law of Motion ~ InertiaForces cause change in motion.
- 2. ObjectivesDescribe Aristole's concept of motion.Describe Copernicus' idea about Earth's motion.Describe Gallileo's idea about when force is needed to keep an object moving.State Newton's firs law of motion. Descibe the relationship between mass and inertia.Explain how the law of inertia applies to objects in motion.
- 3. Key TermsFriction [P.30] is the name given to the force that acts between materials that touch as they move past each other. Inertia [P. 32] is the property of a body to resist change to it state of motion.Newton's Firs Law [P. 33] usually called law of inertia, is a restatement of Galileo's idea that a force is not needed to keep an object moving.

- 6. 3.1 Aristotle on MotionAristotle, the foremost Greek scientist, studied motion and divided it into two types: natural motion and violent motion.During Aristotle's time, natural motion on Earth was thought to be either straight up or straight down: It was "natural" for heavy things to fall and for very light things to rise.
- 7. 3.1 Aristotle on MotionViolent motion was imposed motion and it was the result of forces that pushed or pulled.The proper state of objects was thought to be one of res, unless they were being pushed or pulled or wer moving toward their natural resting place.
- 8. 3.2 Copernicus and the Moving EarthCpoernicus reasoned that the simplest way to interpret astronomical observations was to assume that Earth and the other planets move around the sun.Copernius' idea of motion in space was extremely controversial at the time, because most people believed the Earth was at the center of the universe. Copernicus worked on his ideas in secret to escape persecution. At the urging of his close friends, he publiched his ideas.
- 9. 3.3 Galileo on MotionGalileo argued that only when friction is present-as it usually is - is a force needed to keep an object moving.One of Galileo's greatest contributions to physics was demolishing the notion that a force is necessary to keep an object moving. A force is any push or pull.Friction is the force that acts between materials that touch as they move past each other.
- 10. 3.3 Galileo on MotionGalileo found that a ball rolling on a smooth horizontal plane has almost constant velocity, and if friction were entirely absent, the ball would move forever. Gaileo also stated that the tendency of a moving body to keep moving is natural and that every object resists change to its state of motion.The property of a body to resist changes to its state of motion is called inertia.
- 11. 3.4 Newton's Law of InertiaNewton's first law states that every object continues in a state of rest, or of uniform speed in a straight line, unless acted on by a nonzero net force.Isaac Newton's law is usually called the law of inertia.Forces are needed to overcome any fiction that may be present. Forceces are also needed to set objectsin motion initially.Once an object is moving in a force-free environment, it will move in a straight line indefinitely.
- 12. 3.5 Mass - A messure of InertiaThe more mass an object has, the greater its inertia and the more force it takes to change its state of motion.Mass is the quantity of matter in an object. Mass is a measure of the inertia of and object. Mass is measured in the fundamental unit of kilograms.Weight is the force of gravity on an object. Weight depends on an object's location. The mass of an object is the same weather the object is located on Earth, on the moon, or in outer space.
- 13. 3.5 Mass - A messure of InertiaMass and weight are proportional to each other in a given place. Objects with great mass have great weight, objects with little mass have little weight.In most parts of the world, the measure of matter is commonly expressed in units of mass. The SI unit of mass is the kilogram and it symbol is kg.The SI unit of force is the newton. The SI Symbol for the newton is N and is written with a capital letter because it is named after a person.
- 14. 3.6 The Moving Earth AgainThe law of inertia states that objects in motion remain in motion if no unbalanced forces act on them.Copernicus announced the idea of a moving Earth in the sixteenth century. This controversial idea stimulated much argument and debate.Newton's work showed that objects on Earth move with Earth as Earth moves around the sun. The law of inertia also shows the objects within moving vehicles move with the vehicles.Notions of motion today are very different from those of our distant ancestors.

Concept SummaryAristotle, the foremost Greek scientist, studied motion and divided it into two types: natural motion and violent motion.Copernicus reasoned that the simplest way to interpret astronomical observations was to assume that Earth and the other planets move around the sun.Galileo argured that only when friction is present - as it usually is - is a force needed to keep an object moving.

Concept SummaryNewton's first law states that every object continues in a state of rest, or of uniform speed in a straight line, unless acted on by a nonzero force.The more mass an object has, the greater its inertia and the more force it takes to change its state of motion.The law of inertia states that the objects in motion remain in motion if no unbalance forces act on them.
