NEWTON'S LAWS PROJECT

Newton's First Law states that an object in motion stays in motion and an object at rest stays at rest unless acted on by an outside force.

EXAMPLES

• A ball will not move unless picked up and thrown.
• A car will not stop unless the driver uses the brakes.
• Inanimate objects do not move unless someone moves them.

Newton's Second Law states that the force acting on an object equals the object's mass times its acceleration.

EXAMPLES

• If you push a small and a large box, the small box will move faster bceause it's smaller.
• If we throw a ball with more force, it will go farther.
• You have to push the large box harder to match the speed of the small box.

Newton's Third Law states that for every action,there is an equal and opposite reaction.

EXAMPLES

• A rocket taking off is an example of this law.
• When air is rushing out of a balloon, the balloon flies.
• A Newton's Cradle is the best way to see how this law works.
