The ball is thrown at the goalley. The ball bounces on the ground and the boy ultimately catches it. This is an example of inertia. According to Newton's First Law: an object in motion tends to stay in motion, unless acted upon by an outside source. The ball's inertia, or state of motion would have stayed the same if there had not been the grass for friction and the boy to catch it and stop it.
Hey Hailey,
ReplyDeleteI like that you used a video of a goalie. Since I am a goalie in soccer, it's really interesting to see how inertia connects with my own sport and position.
