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

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

•Everything falls faster than an
anvil.

•Everything falls at the same
terminal velocity

•All principles of gravity are
negated by fear.

•All principles of gravity work all
the time

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

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

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

•Any body passing through solid

Select 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

•Its extreme quickness allows it to snatch a
humming bird or dragonfly from midair.

•Roadrunners can attain speeds of 17 mph.
•A roadrunner catches a rattlesnake by the
tail, cracks it like a whip and repeatedly
slams its head against the ground till dead
•It reabsorbs water from its feces before excretion.
•The roadrunner makes a series of dovelike coos
dropping in pitch, as well as a clattering sound.

•Roadrunners are prey for hawks, house cats,
raccoons, snakes, and skunks, not coyotes!

slams its head against the ground till dead
•It reabsorbs water from its feces before excretion.
•The roadrunner makes a series of dovelike coos
dropping in pitch, as well as a clattering sound.

•Roadrunners are prey for hawks, house cats,
raccoons, snakes, and skunks, not coyotes!

Slide 11

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

•Everything falls faster than an
anvil.

•Everything falls at the same
terminal velocity

•All principles of gravity are
negated by fear.

•All principles of gravity work all
the time

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

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

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

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

Cartoon Physics
Select 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.

•Its extreme quickness allows it to snatch a
humming bird or dragonfly from midair.
