What does Newton's first law say?

The law of inertia is an object at rest or in motion will stay at rest or in motion until acted on by a force.

100

What is Friction?

The force from two objects touching 

100

Friction is a non-contact force or a contact force?

Contact Force

100

An object with a balanced force acting on it does what? Move or does not move?

does not move

100

Force has Strength, magnitude and ____________?

Direction

200

What does Newton's second law say?

Objects with more mass will require more force. Objects will less mass will require less force.

200

What is Gravity?

A non-contact force that pulls objects down

200

Gravity is a non-contact force or a contact force?

non-contact force

200

An object with a unbalanced force acting on it does what? Move or does not move?

moves

200

When you are in a car/boat/roller coaster and your body lifts in the air or slides to the side or falls forward. What makes you do all these things?

Inertia

300

What does Newton's third law say?

Law of action and reaction. For every action there is a equal and opposite reaction.

300

What is Acceleration?

The change in speed and or direction.

If I push a trash can on a cart at a 100 newton and push a freezer on a cart at the same force. Which will hit a speed of 120 miles per hour first?

The trash can

300

If Bob pushes on a ball with 5 newtons on the right side and joey pushes on the ball with 5 newtons on the left side. Is this a balanced force or and unbalanced force?

Balanced Force

300

Which would experience less air resistance? The smooth compact airplane or the wide airplane?

Smooth and compact airplane

400

Tell me where Newton's first and third law happen when you are dribbling a basketball? 

First- putting force into the ball to move it out of a state of rest into a state of motion. Plus the inertia is keeping the ball moving

Third- the action of the ball pushing down on the floor causes a equal reaction of the ball going up.

400

What is Inertia?

The tendency for an object to resist change in motion

400

Air resistance is a non-contact force or a contact force?

Non-contact force

400

If 7N are pushed down on a box. Then 4N are pushed up on the box. Is this force balanced or unbalanced? 

Unbalanced

400

How can I make a ball roll down the hill faster?

Any answer may would:

Apply more force

More mass

Smooth surface

compact 

500

I have to roll a bowling ball and soccer ball 50 feet. Which one will require more force and why to roll it that far?

The bowling ball because it has more mass.

500

What is Mass?

How heavy an object is.

500

Kicking a soccer ball is a non-contact force or a contact force?

Contact force

500

Student A is pushing student B with 10N and student B is pushing back with 15N of force. What is going to happen to the students and who is going to get pushed backwards?

Student A will get pushed backwards because they are pushing with less force than student B 

500

When you experimented with magnets at the start of the unit what force do they have on objects?

either a push or pull
