The First Law of motion is: An object at rest remains at rest, and an object in motion tends to remain in motion. The roller coaster does not move at first until hauled to the top of an incline. The roller then accelerates and remains in motion for several rises and falls, slowed and then accelerated again by gravity, but losing energy only to friction with the track and the air. Once this momentum is used up, it again has to be pulled to the top of an incline, and start down again. To control its speed, and at the end, brakes have to be used to slow it down.

Additionally, riders in the car will experience an apparent increase or decrease in their body weight at the top and bottom of inclines. Their forward momentum will push them down in their seats at the bottom, but as they crest each hill, their bodies will attempt to continue upward, out of the seats. For this reason, a restraining bar is necessary.

The second law is: The acceleration of an object depends on the mass of the object and the amount of force applied. When a roller coaster goes down a steep hill, gravity makes the roller coaster speed up, and going up a hill, it slows down. The higher the incline, the greater its acceleration and the greater its speed becomes by the time it reaches the bottom.

The third law is: Whenever one object exerts a force on a second object the second object exerts an equal and opposite force on the first. Since a roller coaster is on a ramp, the ramp has to support the weight of the roller coaster, especially when it turns it back up against gravity at the bottom of each incline. The rollers on each car also prevent the cars from leaving the track on turns, by exerting a controlling force using the sides and upper half of the track.

When were they newtons law created?

Isaac Newton formulated his three laws of motion in 1687 in his book "Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica." These laws laid the foundation for classical mechanics.


What was the first name of the famous scientist who gave us Newtons first three laws of motion?

The first name of the famous scientist who gave us Newton's first three laws of motion is Isaac. Isaac Newton is widely known for his work in physics, including the formulation of these fundamental laws.


What is newtons three laws of energy?

Newton's three laws of motion are: 1) An object in motion stays in motion, and an object at rest stays at rest, unless acted upon by an external force. 2) The force acting on an object is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by its acceleration. 3) For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.


What do the 3 laws of physics mean?

The three laws of physics are known as Newton's laws of motion. They describe the relationship between the motion of an object and the forces acting on it. The first law states that an object will remain at rest or in uniform motion unless acted upon by an external force. The second law relates the acceleration of an object to the net force acting on it and its mass. The third law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.


Does the three day consumer laws apply to apt leases?

No, the three-day right to cancel a contract typically does not apply to apartment leases. Once both parties sign the lease, it is considered legally binding. It's important to carefully review and understand the terms of the lease before signing.

How do newtons laws of motion apply to the motion of an animal such as a cat that is running?

Newtons Laws apply to the motion of an animal such as a cat that is running because an object at rest will remain at rest unless it is acted on by an unbalanced force. A cat running remains in motion until it becomes tired or it is stopped by another force.
