Classwork on Newton's Laws

Go through the following websites and post a comment about what you learned from one of them.

  1. The applets were nice interactive ways of reinforcing what we learned about Newton's laws and free body diagrams.

  2. Newton's First Law Of Motion
    An object at rest stays at rest.
    An object in motion stays in motion
    - at a constant speed
    - in a straight line
    unless…
    an external, unbalanced force acts on it.

    Types of forces on an object:
    - normal
    - friction
    - applied
    - gravity

  3. Newtons Law Applet:

    An object at rest will stay at rest unless there is an external force acting on it.

    An object in motion will remain in motion at a constant speed in a straight line until an outside force acts upon it.

  4. These applets helped a lot with learning about Newton's First Law of Motion and Free Body Diagrams. It showed the types of forces acting upon an object at certain points in time, with using animations, and it describes what the law of motion is.

  5. Newtons Law Applet:
    An object at rest stays at rest, an object in motion stays in motion UNLESS an external unbalanced force acts upon it.

    Free Body Diagram Applet:
    Four types of forces that can act on an object are Normal, Gravity, Friction, and Applied.

  6. these power points were a fun way of learning newtons law of motion. an object at rest stays at rest unless an external force acts upon it. An object in motion will remain in motion at a constant speed in a straight line until an outside force acts upon it.

  7. I learned about Newton's first law and how an object at rest stays at rest until an external force acts upon it. Also, an object in motion stays in motion at a constant speed and in a straight line. This is true until an external unbalanced force acts upon it.

  8. construction of a free body diagram: A free body diagram shows the size and force of gravity on an object. a free body diagram can be drawn for just about everything including objects that are at rest.

    Newtons Law Applet:
    External forces are needed to move an object from its current state, otherwise the object will stay as it is.

    Free Body Diagram Applet:
    I learned to make proper free body diagrams using the labels Normal, Gravity, Friction, and Applied.

  10. Newtons Law applet: An object at rest stay at rest, unless acted upon by an unbalance force.

  11. An object in motion tends to stay in motion unless changed by an unbalanced, external force.

  12. The applets helped me understand Newtons first law of motion and free body diagrams better.For one example was that when a object is in motion it stays in motion.

  13. I like the free body diagram applet because it helped me understand them a little more. I like the definitions and examples. I understand Newton's law.

  14. the applets taught me alot about forces that ive never heard of

  15. I learned that an object in motion stays in until an opposing force acts on it. Also an object at rest stays at rest until an opposing force acts on it. Also that every object on earth has an opposing gravity that prevents you from floating.

  16. The Applet helped me get a better understanding of how an object in motion stays in motion unless and another force acts upon it

  17. an object at rest stays at rest unless acted on by an UNBALANCED force. I didn't know that the word unbalanced was included in the law.
