- I think I might be able to help you with that. Come with me outside!
- I didn't understand today's Physics class at all! Newton's Laws of Motion is so confusing!
- Why are we outside and why do you have my basketball?
- I want to demonstrate Newton's Laws with an example that includes your favorite sport. There is a method to my madness!
- I guess this could help. I'll probably actually understand now!
- Good! For starters, let's talk about Newton's First Law. This law states that an object at rest remains at rest or an object that moves will continue to move at constant velocity unless acted on by an unbalanced force.
- My h-, OUCH! Was that really necessary?
- Not really, but it's all for the demonstration! Now, Newton's Second Law. I think you've seen this on your Reference Table before. Force equals mass times acceleration.
- I would say a ping pong ball because it has less mass.
- What does hitting me in the head have anything to do with that equation?
- Well, would you rather be hit with a ping pong ball or your basketball?
- Exactly! This would mean that less mass would mean less force. You could also say that more mass would mean more force.
- That makes sense, but what about Newton's Third Law?
- Oh yes! Newton's Third Law states that for every action force, there is a reaction force equal in strength and opposite in direction.
