Question
newton’s laws of motion
a satellite orbiting the earth
your shoulder is pushed backwards after shooting a shotgun
f = m x a
a soccer ball accelerates faster than a bowling ball when the same amount of force is applied
a magician pulls a tablecloth out from under dishes and the glasses don’t fall
when you paddle a canoe your oar goes backward but you go forward
a picture hanging on the wall does not move
earth orbiting the sun
a rocket blasting off into space
a speed skater that goes faster around the track as they push harder with their legs
Step1: Recall Newton's laws
Newton's first law is law of inertia, second is $F = ma$, third is action - reaction.
Step2: Analyze each scenario
- A satellite orbiting Earth: due to gravitational force (not directly one of basic laws in simple sense here but related to motion concepts).
- Paddling a canoe: action - reaction (third law).
- Shoulder pushed after shooting shotgun: action - reaction (third law).
- Picture hanging: inertia (first law).
- $F=ma$: second law.
- Earth orbiting Sun: due to gravitational force (not directly one of basic laws in simple sense here but related to motion concepts).
- Soccer ball accelerating faster: $F = ma$ (second law).
- Rocket blasting off: action - reaction (third law).
- Magician pulling tablecloth: inertia (first law).
- Speed skater going faster: $F = ma$ (second law).
