ScienceIsaac Newton
● was an English mathematician, physicist, astronomer, theologian, and author
(described in his time as a "natural philosopher") who is widely recognised as one
of the greatest mathematicians, physicists, and most influential scientists of all
time.
Motion - is a phenomenon in which an object changes its position over time.
- Motion is described in terms of displacement, distance, velocity,
acceleration, speed, and time.
How do we know that something is in motion or has moved?
● A Reference point, starting point.
Dynamics - is the study of forces that cause objects and systems to move.
Force - is simply defined as the push or a pull of an object with a specific
magnitude and direction.
● Magnitude - amount (10N)
● Direction - (N.E.W.S.) North, East, West and South
, Newton’s Laws of Motion
- demonstrates the property of an object to resist any change in its state of
motion.
Friction - The Force needed to stop an object in motion.
EQUILIBRIUM - equal;balance
- BALANCED FORCES
Mass - Amount of matter in an object
What do you think is the connection of Mass and Force to Inertia?
- The more mass found in an object, the more inertia it contains and
therefore the greater its tendency to resist change.
- That is precisely why applying a net force on two objects of different
masses will cause the lighter mass to accelerate more than the object
that has a higher mass.
