Question

draw and explain
instructions: create a drawing or visual to represent something you learned from the reading. explain how the drawing connects in your own words.
reading summary

• newtons laws of motion explain how things move or stay still.
• the laws include inertia, force and acceleration, and action - reaction.
• these laws help us understand movement in our daily lives.

Explanation:

1. For the first Draw - Explain pair: Draw a book resting on a table to represent inertia (Newton's first law). An object at rest stays at rest. The explanation would be: "This drawing represents Newton's first law of inertia. The book remains stationary on the table because there is no unbalanced force acting on it to change its state of rest."
2. For the second Draw - Explain pair: Draw a person pushing a box across the floor. The person's push is the force, and the box's change in speed (acceleration) shows Newton's second law (F = ma). The explanation would be: "This drawing represents Newton's second law. The force applied by the person causes the box to accelerate, demonstrating the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration."
3. For the third Draw - Explain pair: Draw two people pushing against each other with equal force. Each person feels the reaction of the other's push, showing Newton's third law (action - reaction). The explanation would be: "This drawing represents Newton's third law. The two people pushing against each other are an example of action - reaction forces. Each person's push is met with an equal and opposite push from the other."

Answer:

1. Drawing: A book on a table. Explanation: This drawing represents Newton's first law of inertia. The book remains stationary on the table because there is no unbalanced force acting on it to change its state of rest.
2. Drawing: A person pushing a box across the floor. Explanation: This drawing represents Newton's second law. The force applied by the person causes the box to accelerate, demonstrating the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration.
3. Drawing: Two people pushing against each other with equal force. Explanation: This drawing represents Newton's third law. The two people pushing against each other are an example of action - reaction forces. Each person's push is met with an equal and opposite push from the other.
