People in Motion
He is the author of Principia Mathematica in which the 3 laws of motion are presented
Sir Isaac Newton
This tells you how fast AND in what direction an object is traveling
Velocity
The definition of acceleration
How fast an objects velocity is changing
Newton's first law of motion
In the absence of a force, an object remains in its present state of motion. Law of inertia
He was a Greek philosopher that though an object behaves as directed by its telos
Aristotle
This is the equation for velocity
V=d/t
The equation for acceleration
Newton's 2nd law
The acceleration of an object is proportional to the force acting on it
He determined that an object in motion will continue moving unless a force is present to stop it
Galileo Galilei
This is the equation for distance when traveling at a constant velocity
d=v*t
m/s2 (distance/time squared)
Newton's 3rd law of motion
When on object pushes on a another with a certain force, the second object pushes back on the first one with equal force
He determined that all falling objects accelerate at the same rate
Galileo Galilei
Distance traveled if traveling at 10 m/s for 5 seconds
50 m
Acceleration if final velocity is 6 m/s and you traveled for 3 seconds
A = Vf/t 2 m/s2
The derived unit for force, a N, is made up of what base units
N = kg*(m/s^2)
He erroneously though that an object in motion would stop unless a force was applied to keep the object moving
Aristotle
10 m/s
Velocity if you are accelerating at 1 m/s2 for 5 seconds
Vf = a x t 5 m/s
What is the acceleration of a 10 kg object launched with a force of 10 N
a = F/m; 1 m/s2
