Newton’s Laws Of Motion
Law #1: Law of Inertia
Law #2: F = m x a
-
Something that is heavier than an other object, will weigh more, and go more slower. For example, a medicine ball and a basketball. A medicine ball is heavier than the basketball. So the basketball will roll faster and longer than a medicine ball.
-
We pushed the medicine ball and the basketball, and most of the time the basketball went farther than the medicine ball.
-
We pushed each other on chairs, and we had to see who was more heavier than the other person.
-
We pushed Mr. Commeret on a skateboard, and he had more fore = more accleration
Law #3: Action – Reaction
-
On a rifle, you can get a action-reaction. Once you pull the trigger, and the bullet shots out, you get a little “kick”, (really a reaction).
This can apply to pinball machine by the launcher. Once you pull back the launcher, the reaction is the ball that is being hit by the launcher, and the action is pulling it back
Law #1- The ball stays in motion until the game is over!
Law #2- Have a reminder: Do not use a big marble!
Law #3- Maybe we can point the launcher at a wall, the action is the ball getting hit by the launcher, the reaction is the ball hitting the wall once hit.
