Newton's Laws of Motion takes the form of a book that is broken into the following chapters:
|
|
The theories of motion begins with the Greek philosopher Aristotle and evolves to Newton. The ideas of Copernicus and Galileo are also discussed. |
|
|
|
Terminal velocity- a point where the force of gravity and air resistance are balanced - causes a falling object such as this skydiver to stop accelerating. |
|
Formulas allow the student to calculate forces, masses and accelerations. They are shown that acceleration and force are directly proportional while acceleration and mass are inversely proportional. |
|
|
|
Changing a car's mass & horsepower give the student a working model to test Newton's Second Law. |
|
Sports are another way to show how all objects obey Newton's Laws. |
|
|
|
Forms of transportation are good examples of Newton's 3rd Law- for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. |
