Newton's Laws

100

What is Newton's 1st Law of Motion?

Law of Inertia

An object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted on by an unbalanced force. 

200

What is Newton's 2nd Law of Motion?

F = M x A

The more mass an object has, the more force needed to accelerate. 

300

What is Newton's 3rd Law of Motion?

For every action, there is an equal but opposite reaction.

400

When we completed the lab with the balloon on the string, what law were we demonstrating?

Newton's 3rd Law

500

Give an example of each of Newton's laws in real life. 

Three examples total! 

Answers will vary. 

Net Force Calculations

100

What does it mean if an object is balanced?

The object is not moving.

400

How can an unbalanced force affect an object that is already moving? 

Need three answers. 

Can make it go faster, stop the object, or change the direction. 

500

F = M x A 

M = F/A

A = F/M 

Use one of the equations to solve the problem. 

Draw on board.

mass and speed 

400

What two factors affect an object's potential energy?

mass and height

500

Give two examples of objects that have potential energy and give two examples of objects that have kinetic energy. 

answers will vary

Forms of Energy

100

What is the law of conservation of energy?

Energy cannot be created or destroyed.

200

Batteries have what type of energy?

Chemical 

300

Give an example of an object that uses both sound and electrical energy. 

speaker 

400

Give an example of an object going through three energy transformations. 

answers will vary 

500

List the 7 forms of energy. 

Mechanical 

Electrical 

Chemical

Sound

Light/Radiant

Thermal/Heat

Nuclear

Waves

100

Waves transfer ___________.

energy

200

Draw one wave with a long wavelength and one with a short wavelength. 

Answers will vary. 

300

Draw one wave with high frequency and one with low. 

Label

answers will vary

400

Draw a wave and label the following: 

crest, trough, amplitude, wavelength 

answers vary

500

What is the relationship between frequency and wavelength?

Inverse. 

As frequency increases, wavelength decreases.
