Sir Isaac Newton. Mathematician and Scientist 1643 - 1727. Newton thought the universe worked like a machine and that a few simple laws governed it. OUCH! Hey, this must be gravity!. Newton's 1st Law of Motion. Help! Whiplash!. INERTIA. Oops! My bad!.

Sir Isaac Newton Mathematician and Scientist 1643 - 1727
Newton thought the universe worked like a machine and that a few simple laws governed it.
Newton's 1st Law of Motion Help! Whiplash! INERTIA Oops! My bad! Explain how inertia is displayed in each movement.
What would happen if the person driving this car isn’t wearing a seat belt and hits the brick war? Explain why using Newton’s 1st Law of Motion – “Inertia”. http://www.physicsclassroom.com/Class/newtlaws/U2L1b.html
Newton's 2nd Law of Motion The Second Law governs all acceleration and is really very simple -- acceleration is produced when a force acts on a mass. The greater the mass (of the object being accelerated) the greater the amount of force needed (to accelerate the object). With air resistance As mass increases, acceleration has to decrease http://www.physicsclassroom.com/mmedia/newtlaws/efar.html
Which object - the elephant or the feather - will hit the ground first ? Free fall – No air resistance http://www.physicsclassroom.com/mmedia/newtlaws/efff.html
Heavier objects require more force to move the same distance than do lighter objects. The Second Law, however, gives us an exact relationship between force, mass, and acceleration. FORCE = MASS X ACCELERATION F = M * A OR A = F M ACCELERATION = FORCE MASS
Mike's car, which weighs 1,000 kg, is out of gas. Mike is trying to push the car to a gas station, and he makes the car go 0.05 m/s/s. Using Newton's 2nd Law, you can compute how much force Mike is applying to the car. (hint: since you are trying to find force, use the equation F=MA).
BOB's van, which weighs 2,000 kg, is out of gas. BOB is trying to push the van to a gas station, and he makes the car go 0.05 m/s/s. Using Newton's 2nd Law, you can compute how much force BOB is applying to the car. (hint: this problem is just like the previous one). http://www.physicsclassroom.com/Class/newtlaws/U2L3a.html
Newton's 3rd Law of Motion Every action has an equal and opposite reaction
WHACK! Ugh! ZOOM! http://www.physicsclassroom.com/Class/newtlaws/U2L4a.html
A variety of action-reaction force pairs are evident in nature
How would you illustrate and explain each of Newton's Laws? http://www.intel.com/education/projects/wildride/learning/inspiration.htm • Pair up with 1 student. • As the teacher models, use Microsoft Word or Inspiration software to design a graphic organizer illustrating each law. • Use the link below for models.
