of Motion
Webercise
1) Find the page for the Newtons Laws of Motion at
http://www.sciencechannel.com/games-andinteractives/newtons-laws-of-motion-interactive/
2) You should now see Sir Isaac Newton speaking to you,
what was Newton?
a) Physicist
b) Astronomer
c) Philosopher
d) All of the above
3) Click the button F=ma for the lesson on the 2nd Law
1. Momentum is directly proportional to
2. What happens if you increase mass?
3. And if you increase force?
4) Continue to the 3rd Law?
1. What is Newtons 3rd Law of Motion?
2. What are the action and reactions in the rocket
takeoff?

5) Take the quiz

- How did you do?
-Review any questions and topics you may have
missed
6) Access the glossary
- In your notebook, add these terms to your
vocabulary list

Activity 2
1) Access the physics classroom online momentum lesson
at
http://www.physicsclassroom.com/class/momentum/Lesso
n-2/Momentum-Conservation-Principle
2) What is the equation for Newtons 3rd Law of Motion?
3) Momentum in an isolated system is conserved?
True or False
4) Watch the video on collecting momentum data
- What was the speed of the blue cart before the
collision?

-After the collision?

Activity 3
1) Click the link labeled Collision Carts, you should be
directed to http://www.physicsclassroom.com/PhysicsInteractives/Momentum-and-Collisions/Collision-Carts
2) Click Launch Interactive
- Make the interactive window full screen
3) Test out different collisions
- Choose 3 Kg and 6m/s for the red cart and 1 lg at
-5m/s for the blue cart with an elastic collision. What
happens?
-Change to inelastic collision? Now what happens?

-And with the explosion setting?

4) Record variables and results for 3 more collisions
