1st Law
What is Newton's First Law of Motion?
The Law of Inertia
What is Newton's Second Law of Motion?
The law of acceleration
What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?
For every action there will be an equal and opposite reaction.
Define force in the context of physics.
Any push or pull on an object.
How do Newton's Laws apply to everyday activities?
Newtons laws are used in everything we do! Walking, opening doors, pushing a shopping cart, etc...
Give an example of an object in motion that demonstrates Newton's First Law.
A car driving, a plane, a soccer ball rolling, anything in motion!
Write the formula that represents Newton's Second Law.
(F=ma)
(Force=Mass x Acceleration)
Provide an example of action and reaction forces.
Did you give an action and a reaction to the action?
DAILY DOUBLE! What unit is used to measure force?
Newtons! Double points!
Give an example of a vehicle that uses Newton's laws in its design.
Cars, Planes, Skateboards, Bicycles, Boats, Etc...
How does inertia relate to Newton's First Law?
An object at rest will stay at rest unless acted on by an unbalanced force.
If a 10 kg object accelerates at 2 m/s², what is the net force acting on it?
(F=ma)
(Force=Mass x Acceleration)
20N
How does Newton's Third Law apply when jumping off a small boat?
Action: Pushing off the boat
Reaction: Jump into air ~or~ make the boat rock
How do balanced and unbalanced forces affect an object's motion?
they can make an object stay at rest (balanced) or they can make an object move (unbalanced)
How do astronauts experience Newton's Laws in space?
They experience Newton's 1st law because an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted on by an unbalanced force. There is no gravity affecting the astronauts.
If a car suddenly stops, what happens to the passengers inside according to the First Law?
They will keep moving until an outside forces slows them down. (seatbelt, wall, other object)
How can you increase the acceleration of an object based on Newton's Second Law?
Increase the force
Explain how rocket propulsion is an example of the Third Law.
Action: Thrusters, ignition
Reaction: Lift-off!
Provide an example of a situation where multiple forces are acting on an object.
Tug-o-war, opening a door, driving a car,, etc...
Describe how sports equipment is designed with Newton's Laws in mind.
for impacts (1st/3rd law), lightweight (2nd law), accelerating (2nd law)
Explain how the concept of inertia is applied in safety designs of vehicles.
If you explained how inertia, unbalanced forces, friction, or gravity work, you got it!
Describe a real-life situation where you can see Newton's Second Law in action.
Gave example and explained?
Describe the use of Newton's Third Law in sports, giving a specific example.
Which sport? How is the law used?
Explain how friction is a force that affects motion and give a real-world example.
Properly explained and gave example?
DAILY DOUBLE! Discuss a technology that relies on Newton's Laws and how it works.
Properly explained how a technology is related to newtons laws? Double points!
