Newton's Laws of Motion Notes

Who do we call the father of modern science?

• Dimitri Mendeleev

• Galileo

• Sir Isaac Newton

• Gregor Mendel

Galileo disproved many of Aristotle's idea with math and the scientific method. One such idea was proving that objects of different masses fall ____________ in the absence of air resistance

• at different rates

• at the same rate

____________ was brilliant and changed how the world was seen. We are mainly going to focus on his three laws of motion

• Sir Isaac Newton

• Sir Francis Bacon

• Francisco Redi

• Shawn Spencer

A force is a _____________ that starts, stops, or changes direction of an object

• small central area that controls the cell

• small electrically charged particle

• push or pull

• indescribable measurement

Watch the video and say something you learned from the video

What is another name for the idea that an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by an outside force (or that an object at rest will stay at rest unless acted upon by an outside force)

• Gravity

• Newton's Second Law

• Centripetal Motion

• Inertia

Using Newton's First law - explain why people need to wear seatbelts

If I increase the force, the acceleration ______________

(as long as mass stays the same)

• Increases

• Decreases

• Stays the same

If I increase the mass, the acceleration ___________

(as long as force stays the same)

• Increases

• Decreases

• Stays the same

A balanced force results in:

• Motion

• No motion
