questions:
Newton’s First Law of Motion
 An object will remain at rest or move in
a straight line with constant speed unless
it is acted upon by a force.
Newton’s First Law of
Motion at the Space
Station
STOP! … Quick demo!
Do the eggs react the same or different when the force is
applied?
If they react differently, explain what causes a different
reaction.
On your foldable… draw a picture demonstrating what
occurred to the eggs using Newton’s 1st Law of Motion.
Newton’s Second Law of Motion
 An object acted on by an unbalanced
force will accelerate in the direction of the
force with an acceleration equal to the
force divided by the objects mass.
F=mxa
Newton’s Second
Law of Motion at the
Space Station
STOP!! … Quick demo!
 Do the marshmallows fly at the same distance?
 If they do not, explain why the marshmallows land at different
distances?
 On your foldable, DRAW a picture demonstrating what occurred
using the marshmallow tubes using Newton’s 2nd law of motion.
Newton’s Third Law of Motion
For every action, there is an equal but
opposite reaction.
Newton’s Third Law
of Motion at the
Space Station
STOP!! … Quick demo!
Explain the direction of the forces that are acting on the
person on the scooter.
In your foldable, DRAW a picture demonstrating what
occurred to the person on the scooter using Newton’s 3rd
law of motion.
