Date
1.

Describe an example of Newton’s 1st Law of Motion (the motion of an object remains the same unless it is acted upon by a force).

A car accelerating on a highway

b)

A book resting on a table

c)

A ball rolling down a hill

d)

2.

Describe an example of Newton’s 2nd Law of Motion (heavier objects need more force than lighter objects to make them move).

a)

Pushing a bicycle

b)

Lifting a feather

c)

Pushing a car

d)

Throwing a paper airplane

3.

Describe an example of Newton’s 3rd Law of Motion (for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction).
