Falling objects

If you dropped a feather and a hammer on the moon at the same time would they hit the surface at the same time? 
Watch this video and find out. 

Penny Drop

Legend says that if you drop a penny of the top of the Empire state building it would go right through a person below. Why is this not true?  

Where is gravity?

 Do all object with mass have gravity?  

Newton's 2nd Law of Motion.

Last week we looked at Newton's First Law of motion. This week we examine the parts of the second law of motion. The second law state that the acceleration of an object depends on the mass of the object an the amount of force applied.This law can be written as a formula. What is the formula for Newton's second law of motion?

At rest

A long time ago scientist thought that all things came to a stop. Then the idea was introduced that things would keep going unless something stop it. Which scientists came up with ideas about objects in motion? 

Video is optional, but give it try if you want. 

Types of Friction

Mya was doing some gnarly skateboard tricks. Then she had an epic wipe out. She yelled at Brody that is was all the fault of gravity. Brody replied that it was gravity and friction. Brody went on to explain there were three types of friction. What are the three types of friction that Brody was talking about?

Staying in Place or Moving

Mya said to Clara "You need a force to keep things moving if there was no force then all things will just stop" Clara disagreed saying it was not true because of Newton's First Law of Motion. 
What does Newton's First Law of Motion say about objects in motion? 

Force that causes Acceleration

What type of force cause a change in acceleration?

Examples of Acceleration

Please given a written example of an object accelerating. Your answer should demonstrate at least one of the three ways an object can accelerate.

Read this I dare you.

Types of Speed

Speed can be measured in just one moment in time, speed can be unchanged over a period of time, and you can use an average to describe speed.  How does the textbook describe these three types of speed? 

A couple of cars videos that are interesting.

Motion and Forces

Today we start our study of motion and forces. We will be covering these and other topics in physics for the rest of the school year.  Motion is the change in position of an object. How fast an object is moving is known as its speed. What is the formula for speed?
