Laws of Motion

When you jump off a small rowing boat into water, you will push yourself forward towards the water.

• LAW OF INERTIA

• LAW OF ACCELERATION

• LAW OF INTERACTION

The more mass the object has the more net force has to be used to move it.

• LAW OF ACCELERATION

• LAW OF INERTIA

• LAW OF INTERACTION

This law of motion sates that an object will not change its speed or direction unless an unbalanced force (a force which is distant from the reference point) affects it.

If you kicked a ball in space, it would keep going forever, because there is no gravity, friction or air resistance going against it.

It is easier to push an empty shopping cart than a full one, because the full shopping cart has more mass than the empty one.

• LAW OF ACCELERATION

• LAW OF INTERACTION

• LAW OF INERTIA

This law of motion sates that for every action there is a an equal and opposite reaction that acts with the same momentum and the opposite velocity.

If you are driving in your car at a very high speed and hit something, like a brick wall or a tree, the car will come to an instant stop, but you will keep moving forward.

When you dive off of a diving board, you push down on the springboard. The board springs back and forces you into the air.

If you slide a hockey puck on ice, eventually it will stop, because of friction on the ice.

If you use the same force to push a truck and push a car, the car will have more acceleration than the truck, because the car has less mass.
