Newtons laws story by: Nicole

(this is a fictional story)
When I was in the 3rd grade, my family took a road trip down to Myrtle Beach in South Carolina over spring break. I was with my mom, dad, and my younger sister Victoria. We were driving through Washington D.C. so we decided to go and try and see the White House. The worst thing happened right when we were driving in front of the gates of the White House, our car ran out of gas. The nearest gas station wasn't too far so all 4 of us got out of the car and attempted to push the car to the gas station. The car was extremely heavy and hard to push so it took a lot of force to move it. This is an example of Newtons second law of motion that states that the heavier an object is the more force is required to move it.
