Newton's Laws
What is a push or a pull on an object that can cause it to accelerate?
What is force
What two factors determine an object's momentum?
What are mass and velocity (or speed)?
In which type of collision do objects collide, bounce apart, and conserve kinetic energy without deforming?
What is an elastic collision
What is gravity?
What is a pulling force between any objects with mass
What causes the primary rise and fall of ocean tides on Earth?
What is the Moon's gravitational pull?

Newton's Third Law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite what?
What is a reaction (or reaction force)?
What is the term for the total momentum of a closed system remaining constant before and after an interaction?
What is the Law of Conservation of Momentum?
Two bumper cars collide and bounce off each other without sticking. What type of collision is this?
What is an elastic collision?
What happens to the gravitational force between two objects if the mass of one object increases?
What is the gravitational pull gets stronger?
How many high tides and low tides do most coastal locations experience each day?
What are two high tides and two low tides?
This streaming platform started out in 1998 by mailing physical DVDs in red envelopes to peoples' homes.

Scenario: When a fish swims, its fins push water backward, and the water pushes the fish forward. Which law does this demonstrate?
What is Newton's Third Law?
Scenario: A massive freight train is moving slowly, while a small sports car is moving fast. How could both vehicles have the same momentum?
What is if the car's high velocity compensates for its smaller mass?
Scenario: A piece of clay is dropped and sticks to the floor. Is this collision elastic or inelastic, and why?
What is inelastic (because the clay sticks and deforms)?
Scenario: You weigh less on the Moon than on Earth. Why?
What is because the Moon has less mass than Earth (resulting in weaker gravitational pull)?
Why does the Moon have a stronger effect on Earth's ocean tides than the Sun, even though the Sun is much more massive?
What is because the Moon is much closer to Earth than the Sun?
With over 300 million copies sold worldwide, this block-building sandbox video game is the best-selling video game of all time.
What is Minecraft?
Scenario: A soccer ball sits still on the grass until a player kicks it. Name the law and explain what force changed the ball's state of motion.
What is Newton's First Law (the player's kick was the unbalanced force)?
Scenario: A 1,000 kg car accelerates from 10 m/s to 20 m/s. What happens to its momentum?
What is its momentum doubles
Scenario: A moving 2 kg cart collides with a stationary 2 kg cart, and they stick together. How does their combined velocity after the collision compare to the original cart's speed?
What is half of the original speed (momentum is conserved across double the mass)?
How do scientists visually represent the direction and relative strength of invisible gravitational forces on a diagram?
What are force arrows (or force vectors)?
What do we call the regions of ocean water that bulge outward toward and away from the Moon's gravitational pull?
What are high tides?
Released in 2023, this record-breaking fantasy-comedy film directed by Greta Gerwig became the highest-grossing movie by a solo female director.
What is Barbie?
An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion, unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. Which law is this?
What is Newton's First Law (Law of Inertia)?
If a bowling ball and a tennis ball are rolling at the exact same speed, which one has more momentum?
What is the bowling ball (because it has more mass)?
In which type of collision do colliding objects stick together, deform, or change shape?
What is an inelastic collision?
According to Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation, what happens to the gravitational pull between two objects if their distance increases?
What is the gravitational pull gets weaker?
Scenario: When the Sun, Earth, and Moon align during a Full or New Moon, their gravitational forces combine. What special type of tide creates the highest high tides and lowest low tides?
What are Spring Tides?
This addictive short-form video platform became the most downloaded app globally in the early 2020s, redefining how internet trends, music, and memes spread.
