Definition
Example
Newton’s 1st Law
Newton’s 2nd Law
Newton’s 3rd Law
For numbers 2 and 3 below, identify what factor remains constant and which occurs to the
other two objects (do they increase or decrease?). Then identify the relationship between the
two factors that are not constant.
2. A teenager is buying their first car. They choose to purchase a car rather than an SUV
because it gets more miles to the gallon when driving at the same acceleration.
Force: ______________ Mass: _______________ Acceleration: _________________
