100
This states that an object in motion remains in motion unless an unbalanced force acts upon it.
What is Newton's First Law of Motion?
100
This law describes the need for an unbalanced force in order for an object to undergo an acceleration (aka, a change in speed).
What is Newton's Second Law of Motion?
100
This law states that forces come in pairs.
What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?
100
This term describes the vertical, downward force exerted on a mass as a result of gravity.
What is weight?
100
The reason a chair slows down after you push it accross the floor is due to this type of force.
What is frictional force?
200
This states that an object at rest remains at rest unless an outside force acts upon it.
What is Newton's First Law of Motion?
200
This law states that the mass of an object is inversely proportional to the acceleration that is undergoes.
What is Newton's Second Law of Motion?
200
This law states that for every force that object A applies on B, object B pushes the same amount of force back, but in the opposite direct, of object A.
What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?
200
These are the standard units used for describing the values of Force, Mass, and Acceleration when using Newton's Second Law of Motion.
What are Newtons, Kg, and m/s^2?
200
This type of force is what's responsible for getting an object moving.
What is the Force Applied?
300

This term means the natural tendency of an object to remain at rest (or resist motion).

What is inertia?

300
True or False: If an object is pushed with more force, it will move faster, or have a greater acceleration.
What is true?
300
This type of diagram represents all of the forces acting on a single object.
What is a free-body diagram or force diagram?
300
This is the type of force that opposes gravity when the object is at rest on a surface.
What is the Normal Force?
300

First board up with the correct answer gets 2x the points! Change you answer as many times as you'd like.


This is the place where Mr. McGowan went to teach English. (Were you paying attention Monday?)

What is Italy?

400
This term means a push or a pull.
What is force?
400
This is one form of the equation that represents Newton's Second Law of Motion.
What is F=ma, a=F/m, or m=F/a.
400
This is one particular everyday situation in which we see Newton's Third Law of Motion occuring.
What is (answers vary-must demonstrate forces acting in pairs and equal and opposite to one another).
400

This is the weight (NUMBER AND UNIT) of a person whose mass is 55 kg and is standing on planet Earth.

(HINT: Think about how fast gravity accelerates)

What is 539N ?

400

This terms describes the force of attraction that exists between two masses.

(HINT: I am Mass #1, the Earth is Mass #2)

What is gravity?

500

These are the two scientists who are responsible for contributing to Newton's First Law of Motion.

(HINT: Bill Nye mentioned person #2)

Who are Galileo and Newton?

500
This is the acceleration of an object that weights 56 kg is pushed by an unbalanced force measuring in at 140 N. (HINT: You MUST have the correct units in order to get the points!!!)
What is 2.5 m/s^2?
500
What are the four types of forces that can be represented by arrows on a free-body diagram?
What are the F(w), F(n), F(a), and F(f)?
500
What is the mass of a person who has a force of 500 N pulling on them on a planet whose gravity is 11.5 m/s^2?
What is 43 kg?
500

This is the constant (number AND UNIT) we always use for acceleration when we are calculating our scientific weight on planet Earth.
