While you read the two-page handout, please answer the following questions.
Give one example of Newton’s first law of motion from your own life today.
If you have one textbook and a backpack full of 6 textbooks, which object would have more inertia? Explain.
Give one example of Newton’s second law of motion from your own life today.
When calculating with Newton’s second law, what units do we use for mass?
When calculating with Newton’s second law, what units do we use for acceleration?
When calculating with Newton’s second law, what units do we use for force?
If you double the net force acting on an object, but the mass stays the same, what happens to the acceleration?
Using what you know about Newton’s second law, explain why a car with a large mass might use more fuel than a car with a smaller mass when they drive the same distance.
