Forces
Forces are represented on a drawing with this symbol.
What is an arrow?
The person responsible for discovering the three Laws of Motion.
Who was Sir Isaac Newton?
Anything that has mass and takes up space.
What is matter?
The unit for force.
What is a Newton?
In the balloon lab, the balloon demonstrated this law of motion.
What is Newton's Third Law (action-reaction)?
What is friction?
This law is also known as the Law of Inertia: something that is moving will tend to keep moving.
The attractive force of one object with mass on another object with mass.
The SI unit for mass.
What is kilogram (kg)?
In the Pushing a Cup lab, the heavier cup could not go as far, demonstrating this Law of Motion.
What is Newton's Second Law of Motion?
The force of friction caused by air.
What is air resistance?
This Law describes how forces come in pairs of Action and Reaction forces.
What is Newton's Third Law?
A unit of speed, often seen on a speed limit sign.
What is miles per hour (mph)?
When two objects collide and bounce off of each other, they are said to be 100% "this".
What is elastic?
Forces that cause an object to move.
What are unbalanced forces?
Newton's Second Law can be summarized using an equation with three letters.
What is F = ma?
Speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction
What is acceleration?
A unit of acceleration (for example, how fast something falls).
What is meters per second per second (or meters per second squared)?
There are 60 of these in every minute.
What are seconds?
The units that force is measured in.
What are Newtons?
What is Newton's First Law?: A body in motion stays in motion...
The time is takes to travel over a distance.
What is speed?
The letter used to abbreviate Newtons.
What is the letter "N"?
A mass of 10 kilograms accelerating at 10 m/s would generate this much force.
What is 100 N?
