Here are the statements categorized according to Newton's Three Laws:
-
When riding the bumper cars at the fair, you bump into your friend and your car bounces backwards.
Newton's 3rd Law - For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The collision causes your car to bounce back. -
A ball is rolling straight across the floor until Bradley kicks it.
Newton's 1st Law - An object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by an external force (in this case, Bradley kicking the ball). -
A bowling ball and a baseball both roll across your foot at the same speed. The bowling ball hurts much more.
Newton's 2nd Law - This relates to the concept of mass and acceleration; the bowling ball has more mass, leading to more force upon impact (Force = mass × acceleration). -
Your car breaks down. As your friends help you push it, it begins to move and speed up.
Newton's 2nd Law - The car experiences a net force when pushed, resulting in acceleration (F = ma). -
A fireman turns on his hose and is knocked backwards.
Newton's 3rd Law - The water being pushed out of the hose exerts a force on the fireman, causing him to move backward. -
A soccer ball will not move until a player kicks it.
Newton's 1st Law - The soccer ball remains at rest until acted upon by a force (the player's kick). -
F = ma
Newton's 2nd Law - This is the mathematical representation of Newton's Second Law of Motion, indicating the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration.
