Newton's 3 Laws

700 Words3 Pages

Newton’s law has 3 laws including the first one that states, an object that is at rest, or one that is moving at a certain velocity in a certain direction, will remain this way until an outside force acts upon another object also known as inertia. The second law includes an object's movement is directly relative to the force causing it, and inversely relative to the mass of the object. Then, the third laws says that an object for every action there an equal and opposite reaction. Newton’s first law is involved in skateboarding, which states that an objects in motion will remain in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force, also if a objects at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. The key point is that all …show more content…

Since acceleration is the rate at which the velocity of an object changes in a certain amount of time. The important fact is that a force can cause a change in velocity. Velocity is a measure of how quickly an object moves or changes positions with reference to a particular direction. Then like wise a change in velocity will have a change in forces. Also we find force by multiplying mass time acceleration. Also the find acceleration we divide force by mass. Greater mass with the same force produce less acceleration and less mass with the same force produce more acceleration. For example lets say skateboarder #1 has a forces of 100N and a mass of 78kg. Then skateboarder #2 has a forces of 100N and has a mass of 62kg. Who has the greater acceleration? Skater 1 has a 1.28N/kg of acceleration and skater 2 has a 1.61N/Kg of acceleration. So skater 2 has a greater acceleration. Another example if a skater does 2 attempt the first attempt they have a mass of 70kg and a forces of 70N, and the second attempt the skater has a mass of 70kg but a force of 100N.Which attempt did the skater have a greater acceleration? How do you know? By dividing the forces by the mass (a=F/m). The first attempt has an acceleration of 1.00N/kg and the second attempt has an acceleration of 1.43N/kg. So the skater had a greater acceleration
