Description
The king announced a competition for the post of royal engineer. Applicants must use a catapult to pass a series of tests. The player will shoot targets using a catapult, study the influence of Newton's laws, solve problems related to these laws and improve the catapult.

Instructions
Play through this interactive game to learn about Factors Influencing Motion : Newton's First and Second Laws. Suitable for Grade 6, Grade 7, Grade 8.
Main Concepts
The forces acting on an object are unbalanced when there is a net force acting on it.
A force is a vector quantity with magnitude and direction.
Velocity is a measure of the speed of an object and the direction in which it travels.
Objects move in the direction in which an unbalanced force acts.
The forces on an object are balanced when there is zero net force acting on it.
Newton's first law of inertia can be observed in different applications.
Acceleration is a measure of the change in velocity of an object over an interval of time.
The sum of all forces acting on an object is called net force.
An unbalanced force can cause a change in the speed of an object.
An unbalanced force can cause a change in the position of an object.
Objects with greater mass have greater inertia.
Velocity is a vector quantity with a magnitude and direction.
Acceleration is a vector quantity with a magnitude and direction.
Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist a change in motion.
An unbalanced force can cause a change in the direction in which an object travels.
A force is a push or pull on an object.(MS)
Newton's second law states that the acceleration of an object is proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass: a = F/m.
Newton's first law states that the motion of an object will remain constant unless it experiences an unbalanced force.
Newton's second law can be observed in many common applications.
Discussion Questions
Before the Game
