What is Newton's 3rd law of motion?
Action/reaction.
The mass of an object is 3kg, and it is accelerating at 4 m/s^2. What is the objects net force?
12 N
Balanced or unbalanced? To which direction?
Unbalanced to the right.
Is this speed, velocity, or acceleration? How do you know?
Speed, because...
Is this an example of potential or kinetic energy and how do you know? A diver standing on the diving board.
What is Newton's first law of motion?
Law of Inertia
The mass of an object is 5 g and has a net force of 500 Newtons. What is the objects acceleration in meters per second squared?
100 metes per second squared.
Balanced or unbalanced? To which direction and by how many Newtons?
Unbalanced force, 15 Newtons to the right.
Is this speed, velocity or acceleration and how do you know? A care moving west at 35 miles per hour.
Velocity. Speed + direction.
Is this an example of potential or kinetic energy and how do you know?
Potential energy because the boulder is not moving.
What is Newton's second law of motion?
F=ma
If you are given the mass of an object and the net force of an object, how do you calculate the acceleration of that object?
Divide net force by mass.
Balanced or unbalanced, to which direction and by how many Newtons?
Is this an example of speed, velocity, or acceleration and how do you know? An airplane ascends 300 ft in altitude while maintaining the same are speed towards the west coast.
Acceleration, because of the change in direction (climbing in altitude).
Where does the biker have the highest kinetic energy?
At the bottom of the hill on the right side.
A skateboarder is sent into the air after his skateboard is stopped by a rock. Which of Newton's laws of motion best explains what happened?
Newton's first law, the law of inertia.
The force acting on an object is 1,200 N, and it has an acceleration of 200 m/s^2. Calculate the mass of this object in kg.
6 kg
Balanced or unbalanced, by how many Newtons and to which direction?
Balanced force.
Is this an example of speed, velocity, or acceleration and how do you know? As a car comes to a stop sign, it begins to slow down from 35 mph.
Acceleration because of the change in velocity.
At which point does this roller coaster have the highest potential energy. How do you know?
At point A, because it is not moving and at the highest point of elevation.
When a Eddie tried jumping off of a kayak, the kayak went backwards and Eddie fell into the water. Which of Newton's laws best explains what happened?
Newton's 3rd law, action/reaction.
The net force of an object is 900 N, and it has an acceleration for 12 m/s^2. What is the mass in grams of this object?
75 grams.
Balanced or unbalanced, to which direction and by how many Newtons?
Unbalanced to the left, by 2 Newtons.
Speed.
At which point on the roller coaster ride will the roller coaster experience the highest kinetic energy? How do you know?
At point B, because it is at the bottom of the ride after dropping from the highest elevation at point A.
