Excel Sheet Directions
• What to include:
– The law being tested
– Results for at least 3 Trials – After you have entered you data copy/paste your table into the “Time to Experiment” Word Document.
•F = m x a
– FORCE = MASS x ACCELERATION
Law #3: Action/Reaction
• For every action there is an equal and opposite re-action.

The Three Laws of Motion
• Law #1: Law of Inertia
• Law #2: F = m x a • Law #3: Action/Reaction
Law #1: Law of Inertia
• An object at rest will remain at rest unless 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.

Law #2: F = m x a
• The Second Law gives us an exact relationship between force, mass, and acceleration. It can be expressed as a mathematical equation:
• 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. *Learn More*

– This law is often called "the law of inertia".

Law #2: F = m x a
• Acceleration is produced when a force acts on a mass. • The greater the mass (of the object being accelerated) the greater the amount of force needed (to accelerate the object).
