Newton’s 0th law of motion– An object at rest tends to stay at rest– DEF. Inertia : tendency of an object to
resist change in motion

Physics REVIEW
Newton’s 1st law of motion– An object in motion tends to stay in
motion• In a straight line• At a constant speed(unless acted on by an outside net force!)
WITHOUT ACCELERATING!

Physics REVIEW
Newton’s 2nd Law of MotionThe amount an object (like a MTV) accelerates is inverse to its mass
– More MTV mass, less acceleration – Less MTV mass, more acceleration ☺

FORCE– A force is a Push or a Pull– Measured in Newtons (N)– Newton’s 2nd Law of Motion: “Force is
equal to the mass of an object times its acceleration; F = m•a

Physics REVIEWMomentum
– Momentum = mass x speed = p = m•v– Force and momentum are related
• p = m•v• F = m•a = m•v/t
– Impulse = force x time = I = F•t– Impulse equals momentum because of Newton’s
2nd Law; F•t = m•v because F = m•v/t
![Page 15: Mousetrap Math Science of MTVs](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5532e6f84a79593a568b47c8/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The Spring Force powers the MTV
You can measure the force required to stretch the spring as a function of the displacement by hanging known weights from the "trap" end of the mousetrap and measuring how much the spring is wound up.
