Using the Automobile to Understand Newton's Laws of Motion

Using the Automobile to Understand Newton's Laws of Motion

Sir Isaac Newton thought of his three laws of motion hundreds of years ago, but his formulas are still used daily by physicists around the globe. His three, simple
laws can explain, more or less, all movement in the entire universe! Understanding them can be difficult, as they sometimes can include complicated equations
and terminology, so we are going to use the basic movements of cars as an example. Use the examples and the resources below to learn about Newton's Three
Laws of Motion.
Newton's First Law
An object in motion tends to stay in motion. An object at rest tends to stay at rest. This is unless the object is acted upon by an unbalanced force.
This first law is referred to as the "law of inertia". If you think about this, logically it is very simple and very true. What a mad universe we would live it if things
moved with no rhyme or reason! We wouldn't be able to throw a ball, dance, or drive a car.
Newton's idea of forces included balanced forces and unbalanced forces. Balanced forces include equal forces pushing in opposite direction which equals out to
be no force. Just as in a game of tug-of-war, if two groups are pulling the rope with the exact same amount of force, then the little flag in the middle would not
move at all. An unbalanced force, however, features a force in one particular direction, which causes the object to accelerate or decelerate.
A car is a bit of matter, an object, which likes to stay at rest. It won't move if it's not on. A great deal of minor explosions happen inside the engine in order for it
to go. It doesn't simply start moving by itself, but forces created in the engine propel the car forward. This is why cars require energy sources, like electricity,
gasoline, or diesel in order for them to move.

Newton's Second Law
The acceleration is proportional to the force on an object, and inversely proportional to its mass.
Newton's second law is often represented by the equation F=ma, where "F" refers to force, "m" refers to mass, and "a" refers to acceleration. Acceleration can
also be referred to as the change in velocity divided by time. Before being overwhelmed by how strange those words sound, realize that Newton's Second Law
of Motion is something you already see in real life every day. The more mass an object has, the more force is required to accelerated it.
Let's say a car runs out of gas, and we need to push it about a yard. A small sports car will need one or two people to push it in order for it to move. On the
other hand, what if we needed to move a big eighteen-wheel truck? A lot of people would need to push very hard to move it, and it probably wouldn't move
very much at all. We would need a greater amount of force to move the larger mass the same distance.

Newton's Third Law
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
People sometimes use this phrase in day-to-day life without referring to physics. However, what this law means is that two equal forces happen at the same
time, and at opposite directions. These forces don't cancel out because they happen on different objects.
The perfect, and unfortunate, example of this is a car accident. Two cars, a green car and a red car, gently bump into each other in a parking lot. The red car was

but the green car was also pushing back with an equal and opposite force on the red car, which caused it to stop. In this way, forces occur in pairs.
