You will be watching several short clips from the Roadrunner cartoon. For each clip write an example of something that BROKE Newton’s Laws & an example of something that FOLLOWED Newton’s Laws.

*You may need to watch each clip 2 times to complete your

chart.

•Any body suspended in space will remain in space until made aware of its situation.

•Any body passing through solid matter will leave a perforation conforming to its perimeter.

•Everything falls faster than an anvil.

•All principles of gravity are negated by fear.

•As speed increases, objects can be in several places at once.

•Any body suspended in space will remain in space until the force of gravity pulls it down.

•Any body passing through solid matter will leave NOT a perforation perfectly conforming to its perimeter.

•Everything falls at the same terminal velocity

•All principles of gravity work all the time

•Increased speed can NOT make objects be in several places at once.

Cartoon PhysicsSelect one example of a law of motion being broken. Make a detailed drawing of the example and write a description below it explaining why the law is broken.

Make a detailed drawing of what should have happened in the space below and write a description explaining why this would really occur.
