Newton Seizes The Day- Newton's First and Second Law of Motion
Storyboard Text
- It is a beautiful day outside, you picked a good day to go to the beach!
- I know right! There's barely any wind and the temperature is great!
- Why isn't that beach ball moving?
- Well, as Newton's First Law of Motion states that an object at rest remains at rest, or if in motion, remains in motion at a constant velocity unless acted on by a net external force.
- There is a blast of wind
- Woah! Look at that ball go! The amount of wind it takes to move the ball determines the acceleration of it.
- Three days later...
- So who was that Newton guy you were talking about at the beach?
- Isaac Newton? He was a physicist and mathematician who developed the principles of modern physics, including the laws of motion.
- Why is this chair so hard to move?
- Because the more mass an object has, the harder it is to accelerate and so you would need to push it with greater force.
- That is actually Newtons 2nd Law, it states that the greater the mass (of the object being accelerated) the greater amount of force needed (to accelerate the object).
