Fig Newton

  Hola! SuperSara here! Now, you see my title, and you're probably thinking: what the heck?! Fig newton? Well, here is a SuperSaraSuperMemory for you:

  When I was about 8 or 9 I went to this camp with this girl from my school. Her last name was Newton and one day just out of the blue she said "If my first name was fig, then my name would be Fig Newton!". And for some reason, that made me crack up. All day I was annoying everyone with my laughter. So, when Mr. Sellers came to us and talked about Isaac Newton, this was the first thing that popped in my head.

 

  Isaac Newton. Ring any bells? I know you've heard of him, everyone has. But what has he done? Gravity. Ring any more bells? Gravity is the force that attracts a body toward the center of the earth, or toward any other physical body having mass apply. But that's boring. Let's hear SuperSara's definition! 

   Okay... Gravity. Well gravity is the force the keeps everything on the ground. Without gravity, we'd just be floating around. The story goes that Newton was sitting under an apple tree, and an apple fell. He wondered to himself "What made that apple fall?" and the answer was gravity. 

   So anyways, Newton made up these things called "The Three Laws Of Motion". These basically describe, well, the three laws of motion. Let's go over them.

Isaac Newton. Isaaaaaaac. It sound like a sheep is saying it.

First Law:  An object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by and external unbalanced force.

My definiton: Basically, if I was roller skating and someone pushed me, I would fall. This is because someone (the force) acted upon (pushed) me (the object). This is often called the law of inertia.

Second Law: The rate of change in force, speed, or movement of an object (the momentum) is directly proportional to the force acting upon it. 

My definition: Okay, so Newton's second law is also stated as F= ma or force = mass x acceleration. The force (the person who pushed me and also F in the eqution) is equal to the mass (me, as in how much mass I have) multiplied by my acceleration (speed). So, let's say I was skating at 5 mph and my mass is 115, so we would multiply 115 by 5, which would be 575. So, 575= 115 x 5. I know it's very confusing, but everyone catches on eventually.

Third Law:  For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
My definition: So, let' say their was a rocket ship that was heading to Mars. The force of gravity is pulling it down, and it mass is keeping it up. But, if the rocket ship applied equal or even more force than gravity, it is able to pull itself up into space :) 

  Well... those are the 3 laws of Motion. Please notice I have been out of town for a week and got one day to this blog so if it isn't the best I am dearly sorry!!!! I tried my best. No video this time, sorry! Too late! SuperSaraSuperBye!! Oh yeah, here are some links too!

REALLY awesome website that helped me review
