Newtons 1st law Another Cup, Please

    It is newton's first law of motion cause it states an object in motion tends to stay in motion while an object at rest tends to stay at rest unless acted on by an outside force so when the cup has been acted on by an outside force and is falling.
    1)It breakable and the ground is mostly hard so when they come in contact it breaks.

    2)It is friction

    3)Which ever way it Falls or gets hit that is the direction.

  2. The force and density of the floor causes the coffee cup to break and make the motion stop. The pieces of the coffee cup and the coffee eventually stop because if the outside forces and friction. The force, mass, and acceleration determine how far, what direction, and how fast the pieces will fly.

  3. As Newton's First Law states an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by an outside force and an object at rest stays a rest unless acted upon by an outside force. The teacup relates to this law because the teacup was at rest on the table until an outside force, maybe a hand, bumps the cup. The cup then falls on the floor because of the gravitational pull sending it there.

    1. What causes the coffee cup to break when it strikes the floor? The force of the floor overpowers the coffee cup.
    2. Why do pieces eventually stop moving? Friction
    3. What determines how far and in what direction the coffee cup (and coffee) will travel? The amount of mass and outside forces acting upon it.

    The force pushed down the cup so it broke on the hard floor. The friction of the air makes it eventually stop moving. It depends on what way the coffee and coffee cup fell, and in what direction the cup went when it fell.

  5. The cup was at rest but it was acted upon by an outside force. It started to fall and would continue to fall until it hit the ground, which is another outside force.

    1. The gravitational pull that is pulling the cup toward the ground brings the cup into the solid ground causing the cup to break.
    2. the pieces eventually stops because friction, gravity, and the floor will stop it because friction slows it down and gravity brings it to the floor that stops it.
    3. the coffee and the cup travel a short distance because of the gravity bringing it to the floor determines which way and how far it will go.

  6. This cup of coffee relates to newtons first law of motion because the cup was at rest until an outside force acted upon it. This puts the cup in motion. The force of gravity made the up fall to the ground.

    1.) The cup broke because the force of gravity was pulling the cup to the ground so hard it broke when t hit the ground


    2.) The pieces stop moving because friction comes in and stops the pieces


    3.) The force applied determines how far it traveled because the more force you put on an object the farther it moves. The direction is determined by what direction the force is coming from it goes the oppisite direction because of Newtons 3rd law

  7. The cup being pushed off the table is an example of Neuton first law of motion because the object (the cup) was at rest until it was acted on by an outside force (the thing pushing it). The cup would've kept moving if there had not been a floor in the way. The cup was the object in motion, and the floor was an outside force acting on it. In conclusion the cup hits the ground and breaks because the mass of the floor overpowered the mass of the cup and shattered it.
    1. The floor is the outside force acting upon the cup. The floor has more mass than the cup meaning the cup breaks because gravity pulls it to an object that has more mass than itself.
    2. The pieces eventually stop moving because of the friction created by itself, the air, and the floor.
    3. The direction and the amount of force exerted from the thing that pushed the cup and the distance it travels before hitting the ground.

  8. The cup was at rest on the table until an outside force acted upon it. The outside force was the push or pull that caused the cup to to fall off the end.
    1. The cup breaks when it strikes the floor because of the force that the floor exerts along with gravity, pulling it toward the ground.
    2. The pieces will eventually stop moving because of the outside force called friction, which brings everything to a stop.
    3. Gravity is a major determiner of where and how far the cup and the coffee will travel. Gravity pulls it downward and the floor will determine how far, by stopping it.

    1. The force of the floor causes the cup to break.
    2. the pieces eventually stop moving because of friction.
    3.The amount of mass in the cup and coffee:)

  10. The coffee cup relates to Newton's First Law because the cup (the object) was at rest until and outside force acted upon it and made it fall over. The outside force could have been a person or a cat or something. The gravity was pulling it down to the ground. Newton's First Law continues to act when the cup is falling because its falling and it wouldn't have stopped unless the outside force (the ground) stopped it and made it break. The friction in the air eventually made the pieces stop moving. The directions and how far the cup and coffee goes depends on the force from the push and the direction it hits the ground.

  12. 1. The floor has more mass than the floor so the cup cant break the ground. Therefore the the cup will shatter when it lands on the floor.

    2. The pieces have no energy left from the the force that was used as the cup fell.

    3.The direction thrown, gravity, and how hard the cup is thrown

    The cup breaking is an example of newtons first law of motion and newton third law of motion. The weight of the cup and gravity. The cup broke because the floor is pushing back with a stronger force than the cup because it wasn't strong enough.

    1)The floor is the outside force and that what causes it to break.


    2)the coffee cup and coffee are going down because the cup has more mass than the coffee.

  14. The coffee cup works with the first law because when its on the table it stays at rest until its acted upon by an outside force. When it gets hit off the table that is the outside force. When the coffee cup is falling the gravity is pulling it towards the earth. When the cup hits the floor it has a lot of inertia so it breaks badly.

  16. The cup breaking is an example of Newton's First Law and Third Law of Motion. The third law of motion is due to the cup rotating in air. Therefore it has rotational force. The cup falls to the ground and shatters because the force of gravity is stronger then the cup.
    1.Gravity causes the cup to shatter when it hits the floor.
    2.Frictions make the pieces of the cup come to a stop
    3.The force applied to the cup and gravity, friction would effect the cups the direction.
