Question
newtons first law of motion
newtons second law of motion
newtons third law of motion
a bowling ball and a baseball both roll across your foot at the same speed. the bowling ball hurts much more.
when riding the bumper cars at the fair, you bump into your friend and your car bounces backwards.
a ball is rolling straight across the floor until bradley kicks it.
your car breaks down. as your friends help you push it, it begins to move and speed up.
Brief Explanations
- Newton's First Law of Motion: This law states that an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. The example of "A ball is rolling straight across the floor until Bradley kicks it" fits here. The ball was in motion (rolling) and then an unbalanced force (Bradley's kick) acted on it.
- Newton's Second Law of Motion: The second law is \(F = ma\) (force equals mass times acceleration). The example "A bowling ball and a baseball both roll across your foot at the same speed. The bowling ball hurts much more" is related. Since \(F=ma\), and if we assume the acceleration (change in motion when hitting the foot) is similar, the bowling ball has a larger mass, so it exerts a larger force (hurts more). Also, "Your car breaks down. As your friends help you push it, it begins to move and speed up" is an example of \(F = ma\). The applied force (from friends pushing) causes the car (with mass) to accelerate (speed up).
- Newton's Third Law of Motion: This law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The example "When riding the bumper cars at the fair, you bump into your friend and your car bounces backwards" is a classic third - law example. When you bump (action force), your car experiences a reaction force that makes it bounce back.
