PTC's Indigenous Sparks™ held a science and physics workshop at two schools in 2015. The students engaged in a series of practical physics investigations leading to a mathematical relationship. The focus centred around the application and understanding of Newton's laws of motion in everyday scenarios.

UTILISE NEWTON’S THIRD LAW TO EXPLAIN THE FOLLOWING SCENARIO BELOW

UTILISE NEWTON'S SECOND LAW TO WORK OUT THE FOLLOWING EQUATIONS

F=m*a

SIMPLE EQUATIONS

1. Looking at the image above what is the force necessary to give a mass of 75 kg, an acceleration of 3m/s/s

2. What is the force necessary to move this 55kg structure at an acceleration of 4m/s/s Force (F)=

3. What is the force necessary to move a 25 kg formation at an acceleration of 2.5 m/s/s Force (F)=
