Assignment - Infographics - 087

Objective

Create a concept map in Canva that explains Newton’s Three Laws of Motion and connects them to related physics concepts.

Instructions

Central Concept

Place “Newton’s Laws of Motion” at the center.

Main Branches

Create one branch for each law:

First Law - Law of Inertia:

• An object stays at rest or keeps moving at constant speed unless a force acts on it.
• Key term: inertia
• Example: a book staying still on a desk; a passenger lurching forward when a bus brakes suddenly

Second Law - F = ma:

• Force equals mass multiplied by acceleration.
• Key terms: force (unit: Newton, N), mass (kg), acceleration (m/s²)
• Example: pushing a heavy cart vs. a light one with the same force - the lighter one accelerates more

Third Law - Action and Reaction:

• For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
• Example: a rocket expelling gas downward moves upward; pushing your feet against the floor lets you stand

Additional Nodes

• Connect “Force,” “Mass,” and “Acceleration” as shared concepts linked to all three laws.
• Include a note: the unit of force, the Newton (N), is named after Isaac Newton.

Design in Canva

• Three main branches, one per law, each in a different color.
• Show the formula F = ma clearly in the Second Law branch.
• Use small icons or diagrams to illustrate each example (a rocket, a bus, two carts).

Required Elements

• All three laws stated in plain language.
• A real-world example for each law.
• The formula F = ma clearly shown.
• Title: “Newton’s Laws of Motion.”
