1 a) Newton 's First Law:
Newton’s first law states that an object remains in its state of rest or uniform motion and in the same direction, unless acted upon by an unbalanced external force
b) Explain Newton 's First Law as if you are talking to a friend
When you consider two objects in motion and at rest, you will realize that there is a natural tendency of these objects to resist changes in their states of motion. This holds unless an external unbalanced force is applied on the objects.
c) Real-world example of Newton 's First Law:
A practical example of Newton’s first law of motion is the motion of a car at a constant speed of 60km/hour with passengers on board. While the car is in motion, the passengers and the driver will move at the same speed. When an emergency brake is suddenly

In addition, the acceleration will be directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force and inversely proportional to its mass.
b) Explain Newton 's Second Law as if you are talking to a friend:
When an object is pushed (applying a net force) so that it moves, the object will move towards the direction of the push (net force). Additionally, its acceleration will increase with an increase in the force applied and vice versa. Conversely, an object of a larger mass will move slowly and vice versa.
c) Real-world example of Newton 's Second Law:
A practical example can demonstrate by either pushing a car or a bicycle. Obviously, the car weighs more than the bicycle. Thus, much force will be required to push it compared to the bicycle, for both bodies to move with equal magnitudes of acceleration.
3 a) Newton 's Third Law:
Newton’s third law states that for every action, there must be an equal and opposite
For this part of the course we will apply Newton’s Law in one dimension at a time only. We will generally use the Cartesian subscripts “x” or “y” to indicate the relevant dimension we are considering. For example when we want to talk about the component of the net force in the x-direction, we represent this as the vector component Fx. Note that we never put little arrows on components.
(Title) “For every action there is an equal reaction” is Newton’s third law, this is obviously true to all physical actions that happen on Earth, hence why birds can fly. Over many years there has always been an argument that this ‘law of physics’ applies to much more than just the physical aspects on Earth. Some people believe that Newton’s third law also exists in other forms, the most popular known as Karma. In modern day times society implements their own karma for big offences in the form of law. There are still inhumane things people can do and not be persecuted by the law.
1. Gravity- Newton’s law of gravity states that everything that goes up must come down. Gravity causes the mass of our body or objects to be pulled towards the earth. 2. Inertia- Inertia is a force that stays in the state of rest or unchanged unless a greater external force acts on it.
Have you ever wondered what would happen if a penny was to fall off the top of the Empire State Building and hit someone on their head? It seems that this occurrence may be deadly. Infact , there are many who believes that at a fall from that high an altitude, 1,259 feet (381 meters) not including the antenna spire, a penny has the ability to cause a serious injury or even kill pedestrian down below. Well in order to cause such damages, this would be the case if the penny was in free fall. Yet this is not true because factors such as air resistance play a significant role in restricting the penny's acceleration.
Unit 1 & 2: Acceleration When Lightning Mcqueen was on his way to visit Smokey, He saw the sign to Thomasville which had a picture of Doc on it when he was a racer because they passed by it at first, Mcqueen asked his truck driver to back up. This relates to acceleration because, in order to change directions, the truck driver had to come to an abrupt stop which increased the acceleration. Because the amount of time that it took to cease the speed was halved, the acceleration doubled. Unit 3: Newton’s 3 Laws While Lighting Mcqueen and his trainer Cruz were at the Thunder Hollow track, which was in the shape of figure 8, there were several cars in motion. However due to the law of Inertia, which states an object in motion stays in motion unless
This was made to gather and testing ideas. Another famous scientist named Isaac Newton, discovered the three laws of motion. The 1st law deals with “an object at rest tends to stay at rest, and an object in motion tends to stay in motion, with the same direction and speed.” (studios). “The 2nd law of motion deal with the second law says that the acceleration of an object produced by a net (total) applied force is directly related to the magnitude of the force.”
Group and Topic The group was composed of Korbett, Emanuel and Joshua. The primary duty was to research various accelerometers that were designed for use in sports without helmets such as volleyball, soccer and boxing. Background The Project as a whole is focused on concussions.
Even though Newton had to face many struggles in his early life between growing up without a father, his mother leaving to live with her new husband, and his mother then dying he was still able to accomplish and bring many new things to the world. Many of Newton 's creative ideas and inventions he brought to the world are still used today. For example, in 1666, Newton came up with the Theories of Gravity. A few years after developing The Universal Law of Gravitation, he created the three Laws of Motion. The first Law of Motion states that every object
Most scientists used to hold that Newton’s Three Laws of Motions were absolutely perfect. Albert Einstein showed that Newton’s Laws where only good up to a point, and that a further explanation was required. There are no absolutes in science.
Without him, the world would be much different. Sir Isaac Newton’s inventions and discoveries advanced science and math
The result of the force acting causes the object 's velocity to either change speed or direction. In conclusion, the impulse experienced by the object equals the change in momentum of the object, which can be seen in equation Ft = m Δ
Newton’s Third Law: - ‘For every reaction, there is an equal and opposite reaction’ - (Hall, 2015). If an object (Object A) exerts a force onto another object (Object B), Object B will exert the same force back, just in the opposite direction. A finger is exerting a force on to the wall. According to Newton’s Third Law of Motion, the wall should be exerting the same amount of force, just in the opposite direction, to the finger.
Bernoulli’s theorem is a special application of the laws of motion and energy. The principle equation describes the pressure measured at any point in a fluid, which can be a gas or a liquid, to the density and the velocity of the specified flow. The theorem can be explained by the means of imagining a particle in a cylindrical pipe. If the pressure on both sides of the particle in the pipe is equal, the particle will be stationary and in equilibrium.
Newton is best known for his contribution to physics, however the list goes on. He developed three laws of motion: the law of inertia. the law of acceleration, and the law of action. Along with his laws of motion, comes with his idea that there is a universal gravitation among the earth. Also, he developed a theory that the earth was more a spherical object with more of a flattened surface at each of its poles.
Heraclitus posited the theory of the Doctrine of Flux and the Unity of Opposites by claiming that everything is constantly changing and opposite things are identical, so that everything is and is not at the same time. (Graham, n.d.) By this, Heraclitus asserts that
