I imagine that in the early days you would need to chase down a turkey to get your dinner. Luckily today we can just go to the store because someone else did the chasing for us. In class you learned a song that relates to Newton's Laws. Look up the three laws and explain how those laws are exhibited when someone chases a turkey. I know this is more labor intensive than most blog postings so this one will be worth double points!

A yes... the laws of the great man Newton. Well, in a sense, there are more possible laws than I know about relating to the man chasing a turkey. The first of the laws I could think of was definitely A body in motion tends to stay in motion, where as a body at rest tends to stay at rest. As the poor man runs, he is going to stay running because he is focused on the task of catching the turkey. Now of course the turkey isn't just going to give up and die, so it will keep running as well. The second law i can think of is for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This law is sort of the i punch you, you punch me relation. As the man tries to catch the turkey it runs away. It's as simple as that. The third law was a wee bit more difficult to find and explain. In his second law, to put it simply he says that if a body is accelerating, than there is a force on it. So, relating back to the poor chap in pursuit of his thanksgiving dinner. As he is running, or accelerating, there are different forces in play.

I like the ideas you're playing with here, but we need more. This sentence, "In his second law, to put it simply he says that if a body is accelerating, than there is a force on it. " is perfect for Newton's second law. Not that Cody is totally off the mark on the others, but who can give us a clear explanation of Laws 1 and 3.

In Newtons first law, he states that an object at rest will remain at rest unless acted on by an outside force. Also, the law of inertia states that an object in motion will remain in motion unless acted by an outside force. So with that, when the man is chasing the turkey, the turkey will keep running until the man or anyone for that matter stops it. That would be the cause of the outside force. Newtons second law states that an object acted on by net force will accelerate in the direction of that force.Net force is the total force acting on an object. When the turkey is running and the man is trying to catch it of course the turkey will keep running from the man. The man is like the net force. The third law states that for every action, there is an equal but opposite reaction. The man will start running and the turkey will start running as well. The reaction would be that the turkey reacts to the man by running away. Its not equal reaction only opposite.

while your chasing the turkey you and the turkey are in motion so it will stay in motion.When you catch the turkey the turkey is at rest so it will stay at rest. What goes up most go down

The turkey will be running fast for awhile so ur *staying in motion U need force to push to run ur body has mass and u also need accleration *a=f/m the *oppisite reaction would be the turkey running away.

When the turkey is running, that takes on Newtons 1st law. An object in motion stay in motion unless acted upon a net force. As the the turkey was running its mass made it slower but, the turkey wanted to live and put all its force into its feet and ran, showing Newtons second law, More mass=slower. More Force=faster. For Newtons 3rd law, when the turkey is running and gets cought. That is showing Newtons 3rd law, For every action there is there is an equal but opposite reaction. Comments are closed.
