Explore the forces at work when pulling against a cart, and pushing a refrigerator, crate, or person. Create an applied force and see how it makes objects move. Change friction and see how it affects the motion of objects.
Why do things move? Why do they stop? How do forces work? Isaac Newton laid down 3 laws of motion more than three hundred y...
Laws of Motion: 3 laws developed by Sir Isaac Newton to describe the action of force on mass; Force: Something that causes mass to move; Acceleration: The act of speeding up movement; Q and A Question: The 3 Laws of Motion seem obvious. Why did Sir Isaac Newton need to write them down?
Newton's Laws of motion describe the connection between the forces that act upon an object and the manner in which the object moves. An understanding of forces and their tendency to balance or not balance each other is crucial to understanding how the object will change or not change its state of motion.
Over the years, scientists have discovered several rules or laws that explain motion and the causes of changes in motion. There are also special laws when you reach the speed of light or when physicists look at very small things like atoms.
