Newton’s Laws of Moving Objects
"An object will stay at rest or continue at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external unbalanced force"
example:
- Blood will rush from your head to your feet when quickly stopping on a descending elevator
- you can dispense the ketchup from it’s bottle
- You will fall off your bicycle when you hit a rock which abruptly stop the bicycle
- An object will fall from a car’s dashboard when you’re accelerating your car from stationary position
- A ball that you push on the floor will eventually stops because of friction
- A car will drift if it turn left or right on a wet road
Second law:
“The acceleration of an object depends on the net force acting upon the object and the mass of the object”
examples:
- It’s easier to push a shopping cart when it’s empty than when it’s full
- Your friend is on a skateboard, a little push, he will accelerate a bit, a big push and he will move even faster
- your friend is in a car, a little push, the car won’t move, a big push the car will barely move, all your friends push the car, the car will move
Third law:
“For every action there is an equal force but in opposite direction”
- A jet plane will move forward if the jet create enough force
- Rowing a boat oars to move it forward
- You don’t fall to the ground when you’re sitting on a chair
- You will get hurt if you punch a wall
- A basketball will bounce back if you throw it to the floor
- A ball hanging by a string to the ceiling, the ball pulls the string down, the string pulls the ball up, the string pulls the ceiling ceiling down, the ceiling pulls the string up
- The earth pulls you to the ground, the ground pushes you back with equal force.
