Isaac Newton discovered gravity when he saw an apple fall straight down from a tree and wondered why it didn't fall sideways or upwards.

What is Newton's first law? Give an example to support your answer.
An object will not change its motion unless a force acts on it (object in rest will stay at rest) e.g people flying forward when a car stops quickly.

What is net/resultant force? What does it show us?
Net or resultant force is the sum of all the forces acting on an object. It shows us whether the object will accelerate in any direction or remain still.

Which direction will the people move? Why?
They will move to the left because the force is unbalanced.

What is air resistance? Give an example where it is useful.
Air resistance is a kind of friction which occurs between air and another object. It is useful to parachutists who use it to slow down their fall.

Describe Newton's third law. Give an example.
Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. e.g. stepping off a boat and the boat pushes back or a rocket pushing air down so that it goes up.

What is upthrust? What keeps it balanced?
The upward force that a liquid puts on an object floating in it. The weight of the object balances the upthrust.
