Investigating forces, energy, and Earth's place in the universe.
Sir Isaac Newton discovered three important laws that help us understand how things move.
Objects stay still or keep moving at the same speed unless a force changes that.
The more force you use, the faster something moves. The formula is:
\[ F = ma \]
where \( F \) is force, \( m \) is mass, and \( a \) is acceleration.
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. If you jump off a boat, the boat moves backward!
Newton’s laws explain everything from how rockets launch into space to why you feel a jolt in a car when it stops suddenly. Engineers use these laws to design vehicles, buildings, and amusement park rides!
\[F = ma\]
A skateboard keeps rolling until friction or your foot stops it.
When you swim, you push water backward, and your body moves forward.
Newton's laws explain why and how things move, stop, and react to forces.
