Examples of Laws Of Motion

Which law is best illustrated? Why?

1. Maya hits a curb while riding her bike. The

bike stops moving, but Maya is thrown into

the air for a split second.

2. A bird flaps its wings, using them to push

air downward. Air pushes upward on the

bird, allowing the bird to fly.

3. Peter pushes on two boxes with equal force. The

first box is filled with books and the second box is

filled with balloons. The

second box accelerates at a greater rate

than the first box.

1. The law that best illustrate this is Newton's first law of motion, which is also called the law of inertia

The law states that every object will continue in the sate of rest or in uniform motion except it is acted upon by an external force. The bike stop moving because it hits a curb.

Inertia: This is the reluctance or the tendency for a body to be in its state of rest or uniform motion.

And Maya is thrown into the air due to it inertia.

2. The Law that best illustrate this is Newton's Third law of motion.

This law states that to every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

As the bird uses his wind to push air downward, air pushes upward on the bird allows it to fly. the upward and downward movement of air are both equal but opposite reaction.

3. The Law that illustrate this is Newton's second law of motion.

This law can be summarize as force is directly proportional to mass and acceleration.

Because the mass of the second box is smaller than the first box that was why its accelerate at a greater rate.
