Newtons Laws of Motion

Newton’s law of Motion

Law #1 Inertia Newton’s first law is about motion.
An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted on by an unbalanced force. An object in motion continues in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force .

Law #2
Newtons second law is about acceleration is produced when a force acts on a mass The greater the mass (of the object being accelerated) Amount of force needed (to accelerate the object ).
The experiment we did was we had a partner and we tried to push each other and there was a lot of force pushing on each person. (explain the person in the chair and how it proves law #2.)

Law #3
Newtons third law was for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction=action
for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
The experiment we did was there was a string tied from one end of the room from the other and there was a straw through the string and then we took some tape and we had a balloon but we did not tie it then we took the tape and put it on the balloon and let it go and it made it to the middle of the room and that is not that far.

How does what you learned apply to a pinball machine?

The pinball will remain where it is until something like a launcher that will move it and it will roll until something in it’s way will stop it . 🙂

Marbles on a ramp

Marbles on a Ramp
By: Jaden

How does this apply to a pin-ball machine?

When you launch the marble gravity will pull it back down to the ground. The same thing happened when my group tested the marble on a ramp experiment. I let go of the and It went down to the ground. like a rock in a pond

What did you learn from the experiment?

I learned that gravity is an important part of a pin-ball machine. If we didn’t have gravity the

marbles would not go down the ramp they would just float around, like if you were in space!

These are our results from the marbles on a ramp experiment
