Give an example of how friction can be helpful when driving a car.
Energy in motion is...

What do we call friction that is in the air?

Adelin made a bet that if he kicked the soccer ball down the field and it continued to stay in motion, then I had to give him $50. Of course, the ball came to a stop about halfway down the field. What did I know that Adelin didn't know?
The friction caused the ball to stop moving.

Bella opened an art gallery but needed to put her new heavy desk in the correct place. She tried to push it on her own but was unable to so she asked her friends O'Lyvia and Cassie to help.
The second law of motion - The greater the mass of an object, the greater amount of force needed to accelerate the object.
Ms. Fahey and Ms. Wilkinson
Calculate the force of an object if the mass is 32 grams and the acceleration is 4mph.
Force = 128
An increase in an object's velocity
acceleration
What question did Isaac Newton ask when an apple fell from a tree?
Why does it fall down instead of up?
Josecarlos was practicing being the Hulk. So, he kicked a bowling ball and a tennis ball with the same amount of force. The bowling ball broke his toe and the tennis ball bounced back and bonked him on the head. All three of Newton's laws are at work here. Identify three examples of his laws in this situation.
1. The balls moved because Josecarlos kicked them.
2. The bowling ball did not move very far because of the mass of the object compared to the force Josecarlos used to move the object.
3. The tennis ball bounced back towards Josecarlos.
