Newton's Law Review

Newton's Laws Review

​Newton's 1st Law

​Objects maintain their same state of motion - AT REST or MOVING AT A CONSTANT VELOCITY - unless acted on by an unbalanced force.

​

Unbalanced forces result in an ACCELERATION.

​

​Also known as the Law of INTERTIA

​

​Newton's 1st Law

​Inertia is related directly to an object's mass. The more mass, the more inertia.

​

​The more inertia, the more the object wants to maintain it's current state of motion - AT REST or MOVING AT A CONSTANT VELOCITY

Describe how Newtons First Law was shown in our Rocket experiment.

​Newton's 2nd Law

​F = ma

​

​If a certain amount of force is applied to a small mass, that mass will experience a large acceleration.

​

​If that same amount of force is applied to a larger mass, that mass will experience a small acceleration.

Explain How Newtons Second Law was observed during our Rocket Lab

​Newton's 3rd Law

​For every force there is an equal and opposite force.

​

​Equal in MAGNITUDE (how many Newtons of force)

​Opposite in DIRECTION

​

​ALL forces come in pairs. The forces don't cancel out because they are acting on DIFFERENT objects!

​In this example, the swimmer would be accelerated forward by the equal force because her mass is smaller than the wall (F= ma)
