Newton’s
law of
Motion
An object will accelerate in the direction of a net
force.

Is the direction of the
motion of the object always
the same as the direction of
the acceleration?

Example
 For a while, the National
Marbles Tournament was,
as one newspaper put it in
1925, "the highest honor
possible in the sporting
world for (kids).” The game
of marbles was a highly
competitive game from the
early 1900’s to late 1960’s in
the United States.
 The game of marbles was
played by propelling a
marble with the thumb to hit
another marble as to drive it
out of a circle.
1950 VFW National
Champ
Tilton "Pork Chop" Holt in
action at the Eaton Rapids,
Michigan finals. From LIFE
Magazine, June 26, 1950
Example (cont.)
 “Pork Chop” Holt flicks .036 kg marble at
an acceleration of 7.2 m/s2. What force
did he use to propel his marble?
 The Inuit people of the Arctic
region, one of the most
forbidding territories on
Earth, have an economy that
revolves around the
changing seasons and the
animals that could be
successfully hunted during
these periods. Assume an
that an Inuit has caught a
sled full of salmon. If he
pulls the sled with a force of
80 N and the sled has a
mass of 87kg, what is the
acceleration of the sled as
he pulls it a short distance
across the snow?
EXAMPLE
Example
 A 15 kg object is being pulled upwards by a
force of 3 N and to the left by 4 N. What is the
objects acceleration?
3N
a=?
m = 15 kg
Fnet = 5 N
4N
a = Fnet / m
= 5 N / 15 kg
= 0.33 m/s2

What’s your mass?
 Convert pounds into kilograms.
What’s your weight in
Newtons (on the EARTH)?
Fw = mg
9.8 m/s2
Calculate the following using your information:
mass = ____ kg
mass = ____ kg
weight = ____ N
weight = ____ N
mass = ____ kg
weight = ____ lbs
weight = ____ lbs
weight = ____ N
weight = ____ lbs
Earth
g = 9.8 m/s2
Moon
g = 1.6 m/s2
Jupiter
g = 26 m/s2
How does this apply to
falling objects?

If force due to air resistance was 400
N, what is the object’s acceleration?

force at a CONSTANT VELOCITY, what is
the force of friction?

If I drag my 1.5 kg book across the table with a
3 N force and it accelerates at a rate of
1.1 m/s2, what is the force of friction?
