🚲 Tunde and the Magic Bicycle
One sunny day in Lagos, a boy named Tunde got a brand-new bicycle. He was so excited to ride it around his street!
🟢 First Law – The Lazy Bicycle
Tunde noticed something funny. When his bicycle was just standing still, it didn’t move at all… no matter how much he stared at it.
But the moment he pushed the pedal, it started moving!
And when he stopped pedaling, after some time, the bicycle slowed down and stopped.
👉 Tunde learned:
“Things stay still or keep moving unless something makes them change.”
🔵 Second Law – The Heavy Load
The next day, Tunde decided to carry his little brother on the bicycle.
“Hmm… why is it harder to pedal today?” he wondered.
He had to push harder to make the bicycle move fast because it was heavier now!
👉 Tunde learned:
“The heavier something is, the more effort you need to move it faster.”
🔴 Third Law – The Push Back
One afternoon, Tunde pushed his foot hard against the ground to start riding.
Suddenly, he zoomed forward!
“Wow! When I push the ground, it pushes me back!” he laughed.
👉 Tunde learned:
“For every push, there is a push back!”
🌟 What Tunde Discovered
Without knowing it, Tunde had learned the three laws by Isaac Newton:
- Things don’t move unless you make them move.
- Heavier things need more effort to move.
- Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
Now Tunde rides his bicycle like a little scientist 🚴♂️✨
