Beside motion, what other scientific topics did Sir Isaac Newton have ideas about? (3 points)________________________ ________________________________________________In the movies!For each of Newton’s three laws, write down a movie for each law and how each law plays a role in the movie: Here are a couple examples: (You cannot use these examples!) Newton’s First Law ( Law of Inertia): Armageddon – The meteor in this movie is traveling at a constant velocity and direction straight towards earth, and would have kept coming towards earth except it was acted upon by an outside unbalanced force (it was blown up from the inside to divert its path). Newton’s Second Law (F = ma): Remember the Titans—Julius and Petey are both accelerating at an equal rate down the field. When these two players are tackling in the movie, Julius has a greater force that he exerts on his component because he has a greater mass than Petey, since Force = mass x acceleration. Your turn! Newton’s First Law: Newton’s Second Law: Newton’s Third Law: Identify which of Newton’s Laws is demonstrated below for each AND explain why!A magician pulls a tablecloth out from under dishes and glasses on a table without disturbing them.Explain Your Answer:? A person’s body is thrown outward as a car rounds a curve on a highway.Explain Your Answer:? Rockets are launched into space using jet propulsion where exhaust accelerates out from the rocket and the rocket accelerates in an opposite direction.Explain Your Answer:? A picture is hanging on a wall and does not move.Explain Your Answer:? A person not wearing a seatbelt flies through a car window when someone slams on the breaks because the person’s body wants to remain in continuous motion even when the car stops.Explain Your Answer:? Pushing a child on a swing is easier than pushing an adult on the same swing, because the adult has more inertia.Explain Your Answer:? A soccer ball accelerates more than a bowling ball when thrown with the same force.Explain Your Answer:? A soccer player kicks a ball with their foot and their toes are left stinging.Explain Your Answer:? A student leaves a pencil on a desk and the pencil stays in the same spot until another student picks it up.Explain Your Answer:? Two students are in a baseball game. The first student hits a ball very hard and it has a greater acceleration than the second student who bunts the ball lightly.Explain Your Answer: ................
