• Apply Newton's 3 Laws of Motion to simple scenarios in Life

Terminologies:

• Acceleration

• Inertia

• Action–Reaction

  
  

1- A car suddenly stopping: Passengers in a car continue moving forward when the car suddenly stops, demonstrating inertia.

2- A hockey puck on ice: A hockey puck slides on ice with little friction and will keep moving until it hits something.

3- Pushing a shopping cart: The acceleration of a shopping cart increases as you apply more force, and it decreases if the cart is heavier.

Which Car has the highest Acceleration? (Red/Green/Blue)?

Use the net force Tab

1- Would the truck move without pulling?

2- Where did the truck move? Describe its motion

3- Describe an action and reaction in this simulation

Objective:

• Represent the concepts of Newton’s Three Laws of Motion creatively through drawings, diagrams, or comic strips.

• Make abstract physics concepts visible and memorable.

Instructions

1. Choose a Law or Concept

   • Students pick one of the three laws, or a combination (e.g., motion of a truck in the PhET Tug-of-War simulation).

   • Optional: Include velocity, acceleration, or net force in their design.

2. Create a Visual Representation
   Students can:

   • Draw a comic strip showing action-reaction forces in a tug-of-war.

   • Illustrate acceleration using arrows, motion lines, or speed lines (like in animation).

   • Design a poster or infographic showing all three laws with examples.
