Newton's Laws
Which law states that the acceleration of an object is directly related to the net force applied to the object and inversely related to the mass of the object?
Newton's Second Law
The tendency of an object to resist a change in motion
Inertia
How many laws of motion did Newton created?
Three!
How can Newton’s laws be used to explain how rockets are launched into space?
Newton’s third law would tell us that when the rocket pushes out fire with a specific amount of force, the rocket will move in the opposite direction, but with the same amount of force. This is what causes the rocket to shoot up into the air.
What is Maiya's favorite color?

Which law states that forces occur as equal and opposite pairs?
Newton's Third Law
An action that can change the motion of an object
Force
What century did Newton live in?
The 17th century
Explain Newton's first law in a game of Tug of War.
The rope will stay in the same place until the tugging starts
How many years has Maiya been a cheerleader?

Which law states that an object at rest will stay at rest unless it is acted upon by an unbalanced force?
Newton's First law
The amount of matter in an object
Mass
This is a force of resistance between 2 objects
Friction
Explain Newton's second law in a game of Tug of War.
You could measure a team’s force that they can pull the rope with based on their body masses and the acceleration that they are causing the rope to move at.
What's Maiya's favorite sport?
Football
Describe what happens if you try and push Mr. Ashworth. What happens if he pushes back?
If you put force on Mr. Ashworth, force will be put back on you. Because of Mr. Ashworth's mass, you most likely will not have enough force to make him accelerate. If Mr. Ashworth pushed you, you most likely would move in the direction of the force since he has more mass.
A measure of speed in a given direction
Velocity
What else did Isaac Newton create?
Calculus, Laws of Gravity
Explain Newton's first law when you roll a ball on a flat surface.
The ball will continue to roll on the surface unless an outside force stops it.
What's Maiya's favorite subject?
Math
Which law explains the results of letting an untied balloon go?
Newton's Third Law
The transfer of energy when an applied force moves an object over a distance
Work
______________ describes how fast something is going, whereas, __________ describes how fast something is going and in a certain direction.
Speed, Velocity
Give an example of Newton's third law.
Answers will vary.
How many pets does Maiya have?
