In 1687‚ Sir Isaac Newton published what are known today as Newton’s three laws of motion. If these laws didn’t exist‚ motion and life would not exist. His three laws are accurately relative to what "normal" speeds are on earth. Newton’s first law is most commonly referred to as the law of inertia. The law states that an object that is at rest will stay at rest unless an unbalanced force acts upon it‚ and vice-versa. If an object is moving and there is no force to move the object in a different

DYNAMICS -studies the relationship of motion to the forces that causes it. Types of Forces: (a) Normal Force‚ n :When an object rests or pushes on a surface‚ the surface exerts a push on it that is directed perpendicular to the surface. (b) Friction Force‚ f : In addition to the normal force‚ a surface may exert a frictional force on a object‚ directed parallel to the surface and opposite the motion or impending motion of the object. f s = µ s n - static friction‚ maximum friction before the object

Kalia Townsend Earth Science A2 5/28/14 ECCENTRICITY LAB REPORT Keplar’s First Law of Planetary Motion: The orbit of every planet is an ellipse with the sun at one of the foci. The purpose of this lab is to demonstrate Keplar’s First Law of Planetary Motion by calculating the eccentricity of ellipses. The 3 main words that were important in this lab exercise was eccentricity‚ ellipse‚ and foci. Eccentricity means the degree of ovalness of an ellipse or how far an ellipse is from being a circle.

ENERGY CONSIDERATIONS IN PLANETARY AND SATELLITE MOTION Consider a body of mass m moving with a speed v in the vicinity of a massive body of mass M‚ where M >> m. The system might be a planet moving around the Sun‚ a satellite in orbit around the Earth‚ or a comet making a one-time flyby of the Sun. If we assume that the body of mass M is at rest in an inertial reference frame‚ then the total mechanical energy E of the two-body system when the bodies are separated by a distance r is the sum

ever wondered who the best scientist ever know is? Or how about who made the three laws of motion known. Well if so you are about to find out. His name was Isaac Newton and he was a great English physicist and mathematician. First‚ Growing up Newton had a difficult life. He was born as a premature baby. He also had to grow up without his dad because his dad passed away three months before he was born. When Newton was three his mom left him to go live with her new husband‚ leaving him to live with

Dynamics describes the relationship between force and motion. Force? What is it? Put in simple terms‚ a force is a push or a pull. It pertains to any influence that causes a change in an object’s state of motion. • Contact Force A contact force is produced when there is direct contact between two interacting bodies. • Long-Range Force A long-range force is produced when one body influences the state of motion of another body even if these two bodies are separated by empty space. • Concurrent Forces

“Law of Interaction” Law of Interaction “For every action‚ there is an equal and opposite reaction” The statement means that in every interaction‚ there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects. The size of the forces on the first object equals the size of the force on the second object. Interaction between the hammer and nail A hammer exerts a force on the nail and drives it into a board . But this is not the only force present for there must also be a force exerted on

Pre-lab: Newtons Three Laws of Motion: There are three laws of motion that have been stated by Sir Isaac Newton during the sixteenth century that are looked upon even today. The first of these laws states that an object will stay in at rest or in a constant velocity unless a force acts upon it. In simplest terms this means that if u place an apple on the table it isn’t just going to roll off. The second of these laws states that when a force acts upon an object it causes it to accelerate
