Newton's Laws of Motion in simple terms

Sir Isaac Newton—who lived in the 1600’s developed 3 laws to describe all states of motion.
Law 1 or the law of Inertia states that matter wants to resist any change in motion.
A. If an object is at rest, it wants to stay at rest.
B. If an object in motion wants to stay in motion.
C. The more mass an object has, the greater the inertia it has.

These dominoes will stay at rest forever unless an outside force acts on it like this push from someones hand
D.Let’s see this law in action After the player punts the ball, due to inertia, what does the ball want to keep doing? ___Go in motion_______________________________ Why doesn’t it? ______________
__Air friction gravity other forces act on it
In order for an object to change its motion, what must happen?

Why is the car hard to push?
The car wants to stay at rest and has a larger mass than the man trying to push it.

Law 2

Based on these observations, Newton came up with a law to describe acceleration.
Newton’s 2nd Law: “The acceleration of an object depends on the force acting on it and the mass of the object

There is an equation associated with this law:

F= ma
Force = mass multiplied by acceleration

Look at this golf swing
The golf club has a high rate of acceleration and strikes the golf ball with great force

The hammer has a greater mass and acceleration than the piggy bank

Law Three

Newton’s 3rd Law of Motion --“For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction

Look closely at this jellyfish swimming
He moves his body backward but moves forward because the water exerts a force in the opposite direction which moves the jellyfish forward

Same with the skateboard
The foot is pushing backward but the skateboard is going forward
