Newton`s 1st Law

Introduction

This Webquest is only about Newton`s First Law of Motion, or so called "Law of Inertia"



I hope this will help you understand how the law works and where we see it in real life.

Task

TASK -

answer the questions:

  1. Who was Sir Isaac Newton?
  2. What is Newton`s 1st Law of Motion and what it means?
  3. How does the Law work?

Process

ANSWERS

  1. SIR ISAAC NEWTON - born in England, December 25, 1643. He was born the same year when Galileo died. Newton was one of the all time greatest mathematicians and scientists.Newton had new ideas about motion, which he called his three laws of motion. He also had ideas about gravity, the diffraction of light, and forces. His accomplishments laid the foundations for modern science and revolutionized the world.



     
  2. DEFINITION - An object at rest will remain acted on by an unbalanced force. An object in motion continues in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

    This means that there is a natural tendency of objects to keep on doing what they're doing. All objects resist changes in their state of motion. In the absence of an unbalanced force, an object in motion will maintain this state of motion.

Evaluation

All the answers were given, and a good video for an explanation how The 1st Law of Motion works was given.

Conclusion

Object remains calm, when all forces are in balance. I this case all force is 0, and no movement is visible.
