Pinball Wizard – Newtons Laws of motion

Law #1 The law of inertia

  • 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.

    • He put a stuffed animal troll in the toy car and then someone pushed the car and someone held the ruler in place and when the car hit the ruler the stuffed animal troll wanted to keep moving because an object in motion stays in motion and the troll flew forward.

    • For our second experiment if you were on a stool and there was a hole and then a person  pushed it then you would fall into the hole.

 

 

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 a basketball. So the basketball will roll faster and longer than a medicine ball.

    • We pushed the medicine ball and the basketball and  the basketball and the basketball normally went farther.

    • We pushed each other on chairs,and we see who was heavier


Law #3 Action – Reaction

  • For every action there is an equal opposite reaction.

    • We tied a rope to the walls and tied a balloon onto it and we let go and it went across the rop.

    • A funny part was, when the balloon went out of air, the balloon was covered in tape

      The action is the ball getting hit by the launcher and the reaction is the ball coming and hitting the bouncers and coming back to the launcher
