The more massive an object is, the ____ gravitational pull it has

more, greater, etc

100

A bowling ball going down the lane has what type of friction

Rolling friction

100

Describe Newton's First Law of Motion (can't just say "Law of Inertia")

answer will vary

100

Which type of friction acts on a box that is moving down a ramp?

gliding, rolling, sliding, static

sliding

200

A force is one of these two things.

Push or a pulll

200
The farther apart two objects are, the ____ gravitational pull between them.

less, weaker, etc

200

Pushing a dresser across the carpet is what type of friction

sliding

200

Describe Newton's Second Law of Motion

Something to do with:


acceleration of an object depends on the mass of the object and the size of the net force applied.

200

Which is a force that keeps planets in orbit?

friction, inertia, gravity, speed

gravity

300

A force has these two qualities. (I need both for full credit)

Size and direction
300

If you have a mass of 120kg and a weight of 200 pounds on Earth, approximately, what would be your mass on the moon?

120kg, mass doesn't change

300

The friction just as an object begins to move is what type of friction

static

300

Describe Newton's Third Law of Motion

Something to do with "equal and opposite reaction"
300

Which can be used to figure out the force needed to stop a moving object?

acceleration, friction, momentum, speed

momentum

400
With what object can you measure force?

Spring scale

400

Provide an example of gravity on Earth (can't use dropping an object)

answers will vary

400

Provide an example of helpful friction (nothing to do with fire)

answers will vary 

400

What does Newton's first law say about a moving object if the forces on the object are balanced?

It will remain either at rest or in motion (depending on what it is currently doing)

400

Which is the unit of force?

m/s, kilogram, newton, km/h

newton

500

How do balanced forces affect the motion of an object?

It won't move because they are the same amount of force

500

Provide an example of gravity in outer space

answer will vary

500

Provide an example of harmful friction (no fire examples)

answers will vary
