Newtons Laws of Motion - Activity Sheet

1. Newton's laws of motion are explained through everyday examples involving inertia, net force, and forces occurring in pairs. 2. Students learn to use Newton's second law to calculate net force, mass, and acceleration. 3. The document outlines activities for students to take notes while watching a video on Newton's laws, then answer questions to demonstrate their understanding of inertia, balanced and unbalanced forces, Newton's three laws, and how to apply the concepts.

Newtons Laws of Motion

Objectives:
1. Recognize how Newton’s three laws are applied to everyday scenarios, with regards to
inertia, net force, and forces always occurring in pairs.

2. Use Newton’s second law to make calculations involving net force, mass, and
acceleration.

Activity 1
1. During the video segment, use words, phrases or drawings to take notes.

2. After watching the video, write at least three sentences explaining what you learned.
Note: (You may ask yourself the question: If I was going to explain this to someone else, what
would I say?)

Activity 2 (Groups)
Answer the following.
1. When an object experiences an unbalanced force, how must it be moving?
One force will be greater than the other so it will move in the direction of the greater
force.

2. If an object is being pulled by two forces, one 4N to the left and the other 2N to the right,
what is the net force on the object?
2N to the left.

3. Define Newton’s first law in your own words.


An object in motion will stay in motion and an object at rest will stay at rest, unless and
unbalance force is applied.

4. What is the common name for Newton’s first law?


Newton’s First Law of Inertia.

5. What physical quantity that can be measured relates directly to inertia?


The physical quantity is mass.
6. If two objects experience the same net force, but they have different masses, which object
will accelerate at a greater rate - the lighter or heavier object?
The lighter object.

7. If two different net forces are applied to the same object at different times, which one will
cause the object to accelerate at a greater rate - the larger or smaller force?
The larger force.

8. What are the two main types of motion an object can experience when acted upon by
balanced forces?

9. What is the equation for Newton’s second law?


Force is equal to mass time acceleration due to gravity. F=ma

10. Define Newtons third law in your own words and give an example.
With every action force there is an equal and opposite reaction force. When you sit on a
chair your bottom pushes down on the chair, the reaction is the support, the chair pushing
up on your bottom.

11. Explain the action-reaction pair involved when a person walks down a sidewalk.
The person pushes backward with their foot and the ground pushes forward with equal
force.
