Law of Inertia

Question?

• What is Newton’s first law of motion?

The Law of Inertia

• The LAW OF INERTIA is Newton’s FIRST law of motion.

Newton’s Law of Inertia

• What does the Law of Inertia say?

• An object in M______ will remain in M______; An object at R______ will remain at R_____, until acted upon by a N___ F_____.

otionotion est

What is inertia?

• Inertia- the tendency of an object to resist any change in its M______. otion

Inertia

• The inertia of an object is related to its MASS. The GREATER the MASS the GREATER the I_____.

• Mass is the amount of MATTER an object has.

nertia

Question?

• Does a bowling ball have the same inertia as a tennis ball? Why?

The Law of Inertia at Work!

The penny is at rest and wants to remain at rest. When the string on the card is pulled with enough force, the penny will REMAIN AT REST.

The dishes are at rest and want to remain at rest. When the table cloth is pulled with enough force, the dishes will REMAIN AT REST.

PULL

The Law of Inertia at Work!An object in motion wants to stay in motion. The person in the car is traveling at the same velocity as the car. When the car stops, the person wants to STAY IN MOTION. That is why you must wear your seatbelts!

The Law of Inertia at Work!An object in motion wants to stay in motion. The test tube and the skateboard it is on is traveling at the same velocity. When the skateboard is stopped, the test tube wants to STAY IN MOTION.

Newton’s Second Law

Force = Mass X Acceleration

F = m X a

Observe what is going on in the picture?
