Newton's Laws - Mind Map

Newton's Laws

Why do objects at a constant velocity remain at that velocity?

Newton’s third law - Every force that is applied there is a equal force applied

Newton’s first law - An object will stay at rest or in motion unless acted on by a external force

Inertia - a property of matter by which it continues in its existing state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line, unless that state is changed by an external force

An example of inertia would be when your seat belt in a car tightens when you turn, The belt tightens because it did not tighten you would keep moving in the original direction you were going before the turn.z

When you throw a ball you are applying force to it, when it slows, it has gravity acting on it and it will stop and fall

In which direction will an object move if acted on by multiple forces?

If a father with his 7 year old son try to push a chair or box against each other the dad will obviously will win because he exerted more force on his side of the box. This would be a unbalanced force, an balanced force would be if two equally strough people applying the same amount of force.

F = MA
Force is equal to mass times acceleration
Force =?
Mass = 12
Acceleration = 36
12 x 36 = 432
Force = 432

How can two objects of different sizes exert the same amount of force on each other?

Gravity has a force of 9.8 Newtons and that force will make the objects fall at the same speed.

Momentum will also decide if how fast you need to stop or how early if you are driving. A semi-truck would need to stop earlier than a four wheeler because of having a bigger mass. The objects could exert the same amount of force, as long as you spread the force out over a long amount of time.

If a feather and a bowling ball are dropped in a area that has no air resistance, they will hit the ground at the same time. You could also say the same when you push up against a wall, when you push up against the wall, the wall pushes back with an equal force so neither one of the two fall.

Claim:
Objects at a constant velocity will remain at that velocity because of Newton’s laws of motion

claim:
The object will move in the direction where the most force is applied

My Experience:
If you have ever tried to push against someone so you either try to stop them or get past you will experience a little of this.

Claim:
Gravity will make apply its 9.8 newtons of force and if there is no air resistance.

My Experience:
Cars retain their velocity and when the breaks tense up the car slows or stops. So being in the car has you experience this.

My experience:
I have dropped two objects like two bouncy balls at the same time and they hit the ground at the same time.
