What is the formula for this Law? ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ What does Newton’s 3rd Law of Motion states? ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ Part 1 - Go to the following website: is another name for Newton’s First Law? ______________________________READ and Watch the truck and ladder animation. How does this animation relate to Newton’s 1st Law of Motion?What do people wear in cars to protect themselves against this law? ______________Define inertia. (click on the word to get the definition)Part 2- Investigate and apply Newton’s Laws to vehicle restraints. Research the Newton Laws of Motion (Know the differences between them). Observe and relate the Newton’s Laws in relation to car crashes. Describe 3 ways that Newton’s Laws can apply in a car crash. Newton’s 1st Law:Newton’s 2nd Law:Newton’s 3rd Law:Compare and contrast the results of a crash while the passengers are not wearing seat belts and while they are wearing seat belts. Part 3- Newton’s 1st Law of Motion Quiz Time (For review, go to the following website to review Newton’s 1st Law of Motion before answering the Questions. If permitted, watch the video as well.) Answer True or False If a hockey puck slides on a perfectly frictionless surface, it will eventually slow down because of its inertia. Inertia is the property that every material object has that causes objects to resist changes in its state of motion. The law of inertia applies to both moving and nonmoving objects. The reason a penny thrown straight up inside a bus will come back to your hand is that you, the bus, the air inside the bus, and the penny are all moving at the same velocity. An object wants to maintain its state of motion because it has mass. An object that is not accelerating or decelerating has zero net force acting on it.The only way to slow down a moving object is to apply a net force to it.When no net force is applied to a moving object, it still comes to rest because of its inertia.Objects tend to stay moving because of a force called inertia.A stationary object has no forces acting on it.Which of Newton's Laws explains why satellites need very little fuel to stay in orbit?Short Answer QuestionPart 4- Watch the presentation to learn about Newton’s Second Law of Motion and the answer the following questions. Momentum? What is the formula for Newton’s 2nd Law of Motion? Give an example of Newton’s 2nd Law of Motion?Part-5 Read and Watch the elephant and feather how Newton’s second law explains why objects of different masses fall at the same rate. (hint: look for information about the ratios discussed in the second law) Based on what you know about Newton’s 2nd Law of motion, how would you explain Newton’s Second law applies to bumper cars?Part 6- Newton’s 2nd Law of Motion Quiz Time (For review, go to the following website to review Newton’s 2nd Law of Motion before answering the Questions. well. True or False Bubba approaches Billie and gives him a swift shove. Timid little Billie keeps his hands in his pocket during this interaction. Subsequently, while Bubba places a force upon Billie, Billie does not place a force upon Bubba. Forces always cause objects to move. A sled slides down the hill and reaches the bottom where it gradually slows to a stop. Once on the level ground the force of the hill persists upon the sled to allow it to continue its forward motion. Take the following quiz and record your score in the box to the right: 7-Newton’s 3rd Law of Motion: Read about Newton’s Third Law. Use the info here to help answer the questions below. how swimming is an example of Newton’s 3rd Law of Motion.Describe what happens when you jump from a small boat onto a dock from the perspective of Newton’s 3rd Law of Motion.Use the following website to answer the following questions: . For every force there is one that is _________ in size but ______________ in direction. 2. In the rocket, what is the equal and opposite reaction?3. Illustrate and label the rocket picture.Part 8-Take the following quiz and record your score: __________________Website: 9- Below illustrate each of Newton’s Three Laws and explain your drawings. ................
