100

A push or pull is what describes this.

What is the definition of force?

100

What are electrical forces?

Any two charged objects exert force on each other

100

The SI unit used to measure the strength of a force.

What is a Newton?

100

The greater an objects mass the __________ the force of gravity acts upon that object.

What is greater, more?

100

Was the scientist who came up with the law of universal gravitation 

Who is Newton?

200

Newton's second law is:

What is acceleration of an object depends on the mass of the object and the amount of force applied? 

200

What two factors effect electrical force?

What is charge and distance?

200

What is the difference between balanced and unbalanced forces?

What is when the forces on an object produce a net force of 0 and when the net force does not equal to 0. 

200

As distance between objects decreases, the amount of gravitational force between them __________.

What is increases?

200

The object in space that sucks all of the gravity around it into itself, including light.

What is a black hole?

300

Newton's first law states....

What is an object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion at the same speed and direction, unless acted upon by and unbalanced force.  

300

What is magnetic force?

When you bring two magnets together and they either exert a push or pull?

300

The amount of matter in an object?

What is mass?

300

Is the force that keeps the planets in an orbit around the sun.

What is gravity?

300

Which place would you have less gravitational pull, the Moon or Earth?

What is the Moon?

400

What is inertia?

What is the tendency of all objects to resist a change in motion?

400

What does the applied force on magnets do?

What is the force can either push the magnets apart or pull them together?

400

How much gravity is pulling down on an object.

What is weight?

400

The two factors that affect the gravitational attraction between objects are:

What is mass and distance?

400

As distance increases between objects, gravitational force (hint draw some arrows)

What is decreases?

500

 What is Newton's third law?

What is whenever one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite force on the first. 

500

What is the difference between acceleration and speed?

What is acceleration is rate of which velocity changes and speed measures how quickly or slowly the object changes position.  

500

States that the force of gravity acts between all objects in the universe 

What is the law of universal gravitation?

500

The law of universal gravitation (p. 41) states what?

What is that gravity acts between all objects in the universe that have mass?
