400

This law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Law 3

400

Which object would require the most force to move?

a tennis ball

a baby

a car

a cell phone


car, because it has the most mass

  1. What force is acting against the box's motion?



friction or frictional force

600

A soccer ball is at rest on the ground.  When a force is applied to it, it moves.  If larger force is applied to it, how will the motion of the soccer ball change?

A. The ball will move less distance with less speed.

B. The ball will move farther with less speed.

C. The ball will move farther with more speed.

D. The ball will move less with more speed.

C. The ball will move farther with more speed.

600

How do you calculate speed?

Speed = distance / time

600

The force that acts directly against the direction of motion.


What is friction?

800

This means how fast the position of an object changes over time.

Speed

800

At what 2 letter(s) is the object's stopped?

B and D 

800

The air blowing up on an air hockey table causes the puck to...?

A. Air balances the forces and makes the puck move faster.

B. Air causes the puck to slow down.

C. Air causes the puck to have less mass and travel farther.

D. Air reduces friction and allows the puck to move easily.

D. Air reduces friction and allows the puck to move easily.

800

An object's resistance to change it's motion is called what? (Newton's 1st Law)

inertia

800

Is a bicyclist going who is moving at a constant speed in a figure 8 pattern accelerating?


YES because he is changing direction

(acceleration is any change in speed and/or direction)

1000

 A heavy box sits on the floor with the force of 3 N pushing left and the force of 5 N pushing right.  Gravity is pulling the box down to the floor with 2 N and the force of the floor is pushing the box up with 2 N.  Which statement best identifies the result of all forces acting on the box?

A. The box doesn't move at all.

B. The box moves left.

C. The box moves right.

D. The box moves downward.

C. The box moves right.
