Important Terms
100
What is the first law of motion?
What is an object in motion tends to stay in motion unless an outside force acts upon it.
100
What is the definition of the second law of motion?
What is force is equal to mass times acceleration.
100
Where was Isaac Newton born?
What is England.
100
A person is weighed on Earth and in space. Where will the person weigh more and what causes the difference in the weight?
Gravity causes you to weigh more because there is force pushing down on your body. You will weigh more on Earth than in space.
200
I am riding on a skateboard. All of the sudden, I hit a curb. What happens to me according to the first law of motion?
What is I will keep moving (probably falling to the ground) because the first law of motion says that an object in motion tends to stay in motion.
200

Give an example of the second law of motion in action 

What is an object with greater mass will have a greater force on an object, like the rocks with the flour experiment!

200
What is one thing that Isaac Newton studied?
What is gravity, light, motion...
200
Define force. What law of motion is force connected most to?
What is force is a push or pull on an object. Force is closely connected to the second law of motion.
300
If an object is at rest, what will have to happen to the item in order for it to be in motion?
What is an outside force must act upon it.

Why is it harder to push a cart full of bowling balls than it is to push a cart full of basketballs?
What is the mass of a bowling ball is greater than the mass of a basketball.
