We have started our unit on The Physics of Bicycle and Helmet Safety. We are covering various topics such as Newton's Three Laws of Motion, velocity, friction, mass, and much more.
Mon. 10/14 Tofu Lab~ The purpose of a helmet is to absorb the shock of impact to the brain.
Tues. 10/15 Newton's Laws~ Memorize the 3 laws in your own words, and be ready to give examples.
Law 1: The Law of Inertia is when an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion until acted upon by an unbalanced force.
Law 2: Acceleration is produced when a force acts on a mass. The greater the mass, the greater amount of force needed.
Law 3: For every action there is an equal and opposite re-action.
