Newton's First Law
This is the alternative name often given to Newton's First Law of Motion
What is the Law of Inertia?
This is the standard SI unit used to measure force
What is Newtons(N)
Newton's Third Law states that for every action, there is an equal and this kind of reaction.
What is opposite?
A passenger flies forward against their seatbelt when the driver slams on the brakes.
What is the First Law?
This famous fruit is said to have inspired Newton's ideas about gravity after he watched one fall from a tree.
What is an apple?
According to the First Law, an object at rest will do this unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
What is stay at rest?
This mathematical formula represents Newton's Second Law of Motion.
What is F=ma?
Forces always occur in these pairs, according to the Third Law.
What are action-reaction pairs?
It takes a lot more effort to throw a bowling ball than a baseball at the same speed
What is the Second Law?
To help him solve complex physics and motion problems, Newton co-invented this major branch of mathematics.
What is calculus?
This physical property determines how much inertia an object has.
What is mass?
If you keep the force applied to an object the same but double its mass, the acceleration will do this.
What is decrease by half?
When you take a step forward, your foot pushes backward on the ground, and the ground pushes in this direction on your foot.
What is forward?
A balloon flies forward across the room as the air escapes out of the back of it
What is the Third Law?
Born in 1643, Isaac Newton was a citizen of this country
What is England?
If an object is moving in a vacuum with zero gravity and no friction, it will continue moving at a constant velocity in this kind of path.
What is a straight line?
This term describes a change in an object's velocity over time, whether speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction.
What is acceleration?
Even though action and reaction forces are equal and opposite, they never cancel each other out for this reason.
What is because they act on different objects?
A magician jerks a card out from under a coin, and the coin drops straight down into a glass.
What is the First Law?
Newton invented a new type of telescope that used these instead of glass lenses to focus light.
What are mirrors (reflecting telescope)?
When a tablecloth is whipped out from under a set of dishes without moving them, the dishes stay put because of this specific physical concept.
What is Inertia?
This is the acceleration of a 10 kg falling object that experiences a downward gravitational force of 98 Newtons (ignoring air resistance)
What is 9.8 m/s^2
A heavy truck and a small car collide head-on; this vehicle experiences the greater impact force.
What is neither (they experience the exact same amount of force)?
When you jump off a small rowboat onto a dock, the boat moves backward into the water.
What is the Third Law?
Newton famously passed white light through this glass object to discover that it is actually made up of a spectrum of colors.
What is a prism?
