The Fleet Science Center will open at noon on December 2.
Sir Isaac Newton was a mathematician and physicist who came up a theory about motion that has been tested and verified so many times over the years, that scientists now call them Newton's Three Laws of Motion.
When small object flew off the front of the car when it crashed into the books. This shows Newton’s 1st Law of Motion: Inertia. An object in motion will stay in motion.
When you pushed the car with more force it moved faster and farther. This shows us Newton’s 2nd Law of Motion: Acceleration. The force you exert affects the acceleration.
When the car hit the ball, the car stopped and the ball moved in the car’s original direction. This shows us Newton’s 3rd Law of Motion. The 3rd Law states, “For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.”
