What is force?

100

A force or a push.

What is thrust?

100

These forces cause the object to remain stationary or continue to move with a constant speed.

What are balanced forces?

100

The SI unit for this is kilograms.

What is mass?

100

The SI Unit for speed.

What is m/s?

200

The SI unit for measuring force

What is a Newton?

200

A frictional drag force air exerts on objects moving through it.

What is air resistance?

200

Unbalanced forces.

What causes an object to change its speed?

200

The force due to gravitational pull on matter.

What is weight?

200

This is the formula for speed.

What is distance/time?

300

The shape, movement, speed and direction of an object

What can forces change?

300

The force that is perpendicular caused by the oncoming flow direction.

What is lift?

300

This requires contact to occur.

What is a contact force?

300

The result of Mass divided by volume

What is density?

300

The definition for speed.

What is the measure of how fast something or someone is moving?

400

Sir Isaac Newton created three of them.

What are the laws of motion and gravity?

400

A support force that is exerted upon an object that is in contact with another stable object.

What is reaction?

400

Weight force is an example of this.

What is a non-contact force?
400

This is measured when you get on scales at the doctor's office or at the gym.

What is mass?

400

The formula for distance.

What is speed x time?

500

An apple or 100 gram weight

What is roughly the same as 10N?

500

This is also known as upthrust.

What is another name for buoyancy?

500

The contact force that opposes relative motion.

What is Friction?

500

This is different when you go to the moon, or any other planet.
