  1. Newton’s Third Law of Motion Chapter 10, Section 4 Page 393

  2. Objectives for 10.4 • State Newton’s third law of motion. • Be able to identify the action forces and reaction forces acting on an object. • Explain how an object’s momentum is calculated. • State the law of conservation of momentum. • Use the conservation of momentum to predict the velocity of an object after a collision.

  3. Review • Newton’s First Law? • (Inertia) An object at rest will stay at rest, or an object in motion will continue that motion unless acted upon by an outside force. (Inertia – resists a change in velocity) • Newton’s Second Law? • F = ma; acceleration of an object depends on the net force acting on the object and the object’s mass

  4. Newton’s Third Law of Motion • If one object exerts a force on another object … …then the second object exerts a force of equal strength in the opposite direction on the first object. Ball Head

  5. Action-Reaction Pair • When the dog leaps, it pushes down on the ground (action force) • The ground pushes the dog into the air (reaction force)

  6. Action-Reaction Pair Action on the wall • When a skateboarder pushes against a wall (action force) • The wall pushes the skater in the opposite direction (reaction force) motion Reaction on the skater

  7. Will there always be movement? The mysterious floating Aardvark • No • The Aardvark’s weight is the action force (normal force) • The normal force of Earth is the reaction force Normal Force of Earth – Pushing back on the Aardvark Weight – Action Force Pulling toward Earth

  8. Will the opposite forces cancel? • No, the forces are on different objects • The action force is on the ball • The reaction force is on the wrists

  9. Momentum • Momentum is the “quantity of motion” momentum = mass X velocity It is the product of the object’s mass and velocity. A vector quantity: Magnitude and direction

  10. Momentum • Momentum can also be referred to as “mass in motion” • The more the mass the more the momentum (an elephant vs. a mouse) • The more the velocity the more the momentum (running vs. walking)

  11. Momentum vs. Inertia • Momentum is a measurable vector quantity (product of mass and velocity) • Inertia is dependent on mass, but it is an object’s resistance to a change in velocity What has more momentum: a 200 pound man running at 1 mph or a 65 pound girl running at 4 mph? Why? What has more inertia?

  12. Calculating Momentum momentum = mass X velocity • Which has more momentum: a 3.0-kg sledgehammer swung at 1.5 m/s or 4.0-kg sledgehammer swung at 0.9 m/s? • Momentum of first hammer: • Momentum of second hammer:

  13. Law of the Conservation of Momentum • The total momentum of any group of objects remains the same, or is conserved, unless outside forces (like friction) act on the objects • activity
