What is Newton's 1st law of motion?

Newton's first law of motion states that any object at rest will stay at rest and any object that is moving will stay in that motion unless an outside force acts upon it.

100

What is Newton's second law of motion?

Newton's second law of motion states that acceleration happens when a force acts on an object's mass.

100

What is Newton's third law of motion?

Newton's third law of motion states that every action has an opposite or equal reaction.

At an elementary school, the 5th graders are at recess. The 5th graders are playing extreme ultimate tag, double dutch, jump rope, and they are rolling a ball. While the kids who were playing EU tag are running around, somehow a kid runs into a metal bar and falls. After this the teacher blows the whistle to call all the kids in and make sure that student is okay. The group of 5th graders who are playing with the ball leave the ball on the ground. The ball is no longer moving.

Is this an example of Newton's 1st, 2nd, or 3rd law?

Who is the creator of the 3 laws of motion?

Sir Isaac Newton

Law 1 of Newton's laws of motion has to deal with velocity, distance, time, and speed. What is the formula for distance?

Distance= speed x time

If a grown man that weighed 235 lbs were to push a car and 2 women whose combined weight is 247 lbs where to push a car, who would push the car further?

The 2 women because their mass is greater meaning that their force would be greater than that 1 man, which means they would have more acceleration in pushing the car.

What is the famous saying that comes from Newton's third law of motion?

To every action, there is an equal and/or opposite reaction.

One hot summer my dad notice that are fence was falling apart. So he had an intelligent idea to make his son and daughter wake up from their peaceful, not hurting anyone at all, slumber. The two kids woke up groggy and tired but still went outside to fix the fence. It took them from 9 am to 3 pm to finish hammering the nails into the fence and they still had to do the other side behind the wooded area but thankfully their father let them and said he would do the rest (which never got too). While the siblings were hammering the nail had a reaction to the hammer.

Is this an example of Newton's 1st, 2nd, or 3rd law?

Newton's 3rd law of motion

What is the most known law of motion?

Newton's 1st law of motion/The law of Inertia

300

Newton's first law of motion can also be known as...

The law of Inertia

300

Newton's second law of motion is also known as...

The law of acceleration

If both the the forces are equal in magnitude, equilibrium, and the object doesn't move, is the force balanced are unbalanced?

Balanced force

Two friends were playing around one day during social studies class. As they were playing, one of the girls pushed another into the teacher's desk causing the globe on his desk to fall and begin rolling around on the floor.

Is this an example of Newton's 1st, 2nd, or 3rd law?

Newton's 1st law of motion

When you punch a pufferfish, how does newton's 3rd law of motion affect the after fact of the pufferfish?

The pufferfish will have an equal reaction to the action of you punching it because you will be hurt from the spikes on the pufferfish and from punching it in general and the pufferfish will puff up in shock and pain.

What is inertia?

The tendency to resist the change in motion.

400

What is the formula that is usually associated with Newton's 2nd law of motion and the units that go with them?

Force= Mass x Acceleration

Force= (N)Newtons

Mass= (Kg)Kilograms/mass 

Acceleration= (m/s^2) meters per second squared

What is the difference between a balanced and unbalanced force?

A balanced force means that on both sides of an object their is the same amount of force being pushed or pull and a unbalanced force means that there is a difference between the amount of force being pulled or pushed onto an object.

Your 10 years old and your moms car breaks down. As she calls her brother and her husband to come help her with the car you look outside the window and watch the cars move. As time goes by your uncle and father eventually show up. They start to push the car and argue and complain about the weight of the car. The car is moving but barely.

(For this fact/question the group must get up)

If someone were to start playing your favorite song right now and someone pushed you into a dance circle, with little resistance, what would you do and what law is happening when they push you?

(If you choose the incorrect law your whole group will have to get up in front of the class and show off your best dance moves to a song from the choice of anyone in the classroom)

JUST KIDDING.... It doesn't matter if you got it wrong or right. If you did get it wrong the class gets to choose the song you dance to, but if you got it right your group can pick a song but you have to dance either way.

Newton's 3rd law of motion is also known as...

The law of interaction

In the year of 2019 there was showdown that everyone was waiting to see. Throughout the whole year of school kids were waiting for this moment, going to the gym, doing push ups, lifting weights, working on their core, and even more; just for this very event. What is it? The best field day game known to man; tug of war. The year comes the last showdown for these two promising group of students. They get ready, have half of their strongest kids in the front and half in back, set their strategies. Even though, they do not have an equal amount of kids on both side of the rope the time is here and the whistle is finally blown, both sides pull and pull but only one team can win. 

Is this an example of Newton's 1st, 2nd, or 3rd law and is this an example of balanced or unbalanced forces?

Newtons 2nd law of motion and it is a unbalanced force because they do not have the same amount of kids on their side meaning that the side which had more kids had a higher probability of winning than the other team.

In the play Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson raps in one of the songs "every action has an equal opposite reaction". What is the name of the song and what law does the line from the song represent?
