The Automobiles And Law Of Motion - 1513 Words

In our life, what the one thing we will be in more than our beloved home, our vehicles. For most of us, the vehicle is the most important transportation devices within our modern life. Whether you are taking a bus, carpooling, or driving your own car, we can all share this common action that among us. And for this reason, that I decided to do my research paper on the automobiles and law of motion. Most of us that drive or have been in a moving vehicle doesn’t know much of the physic behind it. Like when you press the gas pedal why does the car go forward, or what force is behind it. When you press the brake, does the car just add negative acceleration or the wheel just stop moving. How come you can’t do certain thing in a civilian car, but†¦show more content†¦Is the other person ok? You not only care for self, but you share a deep feeling with other driver on the road, on the important of our vehicle, and how important it’s and blessed that we are able to drive one. The question that will be discussing is what is the motion involved in a vehicle? Fundamental Theory. In 1686, sir Isaac newton developed the three law of motion theories, the first which is â€Å"Every object persists in its state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line unless it is compelled to change that state by forces impressed on it† (Isaac newton) This law can be explained by if an object in motion will stay in motion, while at an object at rest will stay at rest unless it is affected by an outside force Ex. Friction and gravity. In his second law of motion, he stated that â€Å"Force is equal to the change in momentum(mV) per change in time. For a constant mass, force equals mass times acceleration.† (Isaac Newton) This law can be explained by the equation F=ma, where m represents mass * a represent acceleration. This equation means that if an object of greater mass will have greater force if accelerating at the same velocity with another ob ject with lesser mass, while an object of equal mass, will have more force if accelerating faster than another object with equal mass. In Newton third law he stated â€Å"For every action, there is an equal and opposite
