Day 64 (December 8, 2015)

Highlights of Day 64:

  • Morning Reading: Sequence
  • Students attended Mass. 
    • It was a Holy Day of Obligation.

  • Science: "Newton's Laws of Motion"
    • Newton's first law of motion says that an object at rest stays at rest, and an object moving in a straight line at a constant speed will continue to move in a straight line and at a constant speed until a net force acts on the object.
    • The tendency of an object to resist any change in motion is known as inertia. 
    • Inertia is influenced by mass: objects with greater mass have greater inertia than objects with lesser mass.
    • Newton's second law of motion describes the relationship between acceleration (the rate at which an object's velocity changes over time), mass, and net force.
    • The net forces acting on an object change its velocity by causing it to speed up, slow down, or change directions, all of which are referred to as acceleration.
    • The stronger the force acting on an object, the more it will accelerate, as described by the formula:                                                                                                                         
Force = Mass x Acceleration

    • Newton's third law of motion states that when one object exerts a force on another object, the second object exerts a force on the first object. Action-reaction forces are always equal and opposite, and they always occur in pairs.
    • Student discussed how these laws apply to bowling.
  • Art with Mrs. Smith!
