  1. Newton’s First Law of Motion

  2. Galileo’s Law of Inertia • When the ball was released, it tended to come within a few centimeters of the original height at the other end • What would happen to the ball if it was released and allowed to roll without friction?

  3. Investigate

  4. Galileo’s Law of Inertia • What would happen if there was an infinite amount of room for the ball to roll (on a flat track)?

  5. Vocabulary • Inertia – the natural tendency of an object to remain at rest or to remain moving with constant speed in a straight line • Force – a push or a pull

  6. Newton’s First Law of Motion • Isaac Newton used Galileo’s law of inertia as the basis for developing his law of motion

  7. Vocabulary • (Newton’s) First Law of Motion – in the absence of an unbalanced force, an object at rest remains at rest, and an object already in motion remains in motion with constant speed in a straight line path • Inertia – the natural tendency of an object to remain at rest or to remain moving with constant speed in a straight line • Force – a push or a pull

  8. Newton’s First Law of Motion • Object at rest stays at rest • Does this make sense? • Object in motion stays in motion • Does this make sense?

  9. Vocabulary • Mass – the amount of matter in an object; measured in grams (g); it is a measure of inertia • (Newton’s) First Law of Motion – in the absence of an unbalanced force, an object at rest remains at rest, and an object already in motion remains in motion with constant speed in a straight line path • Inertia – the natural tendency of an object to remain at rest or to remain moving with constant speed in a straight line • Force – a push or a pull

  10. Newton’s First Law of Motion • How does mass affect inertia?

  11. Running Starts • Why do some athletes use running starts? • ie. Javelin, pole vault

  12. Vocabulary • Speed – the change in distance per unit of time • Velocity – speed in a given direction • Acceleration – the change in velocity per unit of time • Mass – the amount of matter in an object; measured in grams (g); it is a measure of inertia • (Newton’s) First Law of Motion – in the absence of an unbalanced force, an object at rest remains at rest, and an object already in motion remains in motion with constant speed in a straight line path • Inertia – the natural tendency of an object to remain at rest or to remain moving with constant speed in a straight line • Force – a push or a pull

  13. Frames of Reference • Why is the frame of reference important? • “relative to”

  14. Frames of Reference Video • http://youtu.be/5oSrDrDLylw

  15. Vocabulary • Frame of Reference – a vantage point with respect to which position and motion may be described; “relative to” • Speed – the change in distance per unit of time • Velocity – speed in a given direction • Acceleration – the change in velocity per unit of time • Mass – the amount of matter in an object; measured in grams (g); it is a measure of inertia • (Newton’s) First Law of Motion – in the absence of an unbalanced force, an object at rest remains at rest, and an object already in motion remains in motion with constant speed in a straight line path • Inertia – the natural tendency of an object to remain at rest or to remain moving with constant speed in a straight line • Force – a push or a pull

  16. What Do You Think Now? • How do figure skaters keep moving across the ice at high speeds for long times while seeming to expend no effort? • Why does a soccer ball continue to roll across the field after it has been kicked?

  17. Claim and Evidence Claim:Lake Superior has frozen over and become a frictionless surface. If I place a note in a frictionless container, it will slide all the way to Toronto to my long lost twin. Evidence:
