Newton's Second Law of Motion

Newton's Second of Law of Motion is that acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force on an object. But, the acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass of an object. This is a picture of my two brothers throwing two of the same size ball. I know that the baseball goes faster because the mass of the object is greater than that of the tennis ball. Newton’s Second Law also tells me that acceleration is inversely related to the mass of the object meaning that the more mass something has, the slower the acceleration would be. Also the less mass something has, the faster it will accelerate.

First Law of Motion

This is a picture of my friend Brachelle blocking a ball with another ball when she was playing dodge ball at our Ring Social this past Friday. This picture shows Isaac Newton’s First Law of Motion, which is objects in motion will tend to stay in motion unless acted upon by an outside, unbalanced force. The green ball in the picture coming towards Brachelle remained in motion until she hit it away with the purple ball which acted as the outside, unbalanced force that stopped the green ball from remaining in motion. Newton’s First Law of Motion also states that objects at rest will tend to stay at rest unless acted upon by an outside, unbalanced force.

Cars

A vector is something that shows direction and magnitude. An example of a vector is a car. A car goes in a multitude of directions and can travel at many different speeds. I had a behind the wheel with my driving instructor and I noticed that cars relative to me and are going the same speed appear to be going no where from me, they look it looks like we are moving as one. Also, I noticed that when cars are opposite from the median relative to me, they appear to be passing really fast even though they are probably going the same speed. They appear to be moving really fast because they are going in the opposite direction.
