...  A litre of water has a density of 1 kilogram per litre (1 kg/L), so a bowling ball's worth of water (4.5 L) can push back on the bowling ball with a force equal to 45 newtons (N). That's the weight of ...
... it best by referring to Newton's laws of motion. Sir Isaac Newton (1642–1727) was a scientist who applied his curious and systematic mind to everything from physics to theology. His work on motion ...
Students explore a non-Newtonian fluid, polyethylene oxide, nicknamed polyox. Introduction When polyox mixes with water, its oxygen atoms can attach to hydrogen atoms in the water, setting up lots ...
Students explore a non-Newtonian fluid, Oobleck.  Introduction Solids have definite shape but a fluid can change shapes because it flows. What's weird about this substance is that it isn't a ...
Students will learn about Newton's Laws of Motion by pushing, pulling, rolling, dropping, and bouncing two balls. Introduction The demonstrations and questions posed are a guideline to get the ...
Students learn about Newton's Third Law by making balloon rockets. Introduction A rocket blasting off into space is a great demonstration of Newton's Third Law, which states that every action has ...
In this activity, students construct a balloon-powered rocket car, demonstrating Newton's Third Law of Motion. Introduction The car is propelled by air escaping from a balloon through a plastic straw. ...
Students explore Newton's third law of motion ("for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction") by building a hovercraft. Introduction The small hole in the centre of the CD forces air ...
... of motion; roughly "how hard it is to stop". This is related to Newton's First Law of Motion: "An object in motion remains in motion, unless acted upon by an external force." Put more simply: if something ...
What happens when a bat hits a baseball? Why does a rolling ball eventually stop? How do we walk, jump or run? The answer lies in physics! In this topic, students get the chance to explore how Newton’s ...
... difference contributes to lift. Teacher's Note: Scientists are not in agreement about how much the Bernoulli Principle versus Newton's Third Law of Motion contributes to lift in an airplane. As an ...
